This is a picture of my Dad's grandparents, William and Flora. They sailed across the Atlantic from England in 1905 to make a life for themselves in America. My grandfather was 2 years old on the voyage. Upon arrival the entire family traveled to Lexington, Missouri. William said he never would've gone to Missouri if he'd known is was that far from the ocean. Their family consisted of 9 children, 5 boys and 4 girls.
My grandpa was a wonderful man. He played with Hunter as a baby. At the age of 80+ he got down on his hands and knees to play in the floor with her. She liked pulling his thick white hair. It's fabulous to remember times together, I did the same thing to grandpa when I was little.
