ISO some old family photos that at one time belonged to my cousin's mother, Rose Gabbard. Rose, whose full name was Edith Rosalene Gabbard, was the child of Dewitt Gabbard & Delia Hacker. [Rose married Howard Brackall, who was my grandmother's 1st cousin. Howard's father, William H. Brackall & my grandmother's mother-Lillian Opal Brackall were the children of Charles Brackall & Charlotte Tina Followell.] Rose died in 1995 & at some point before she died I am told she gave most of her family photos to her sister, whose name I don't know. Some of the family photos were of Brackalls.
I am looking for one picture in particular-that was taken about 1911, that had my gr-gr-grandfather Charles Brackall seated & behind him were standing my gr-Uncle William Brackall & his sister gr-Aunt Huldah Brackall. In this photo you can see that Charles Brackall is missing one of his fingers. My gr-grandmother Tina Brackall gave this photo to the Bureau of Pensions during their investigation into her Widow's Pension claim-that's why I know about this photo.
Since William was in the photo, I figured that this would be a photo that Howard might have kept when his father died in 1932 or when his grandmother died in 1952. I don't ever remember seeing a photo like that amongst our family's photos.
