Several years ago I received this photograph of my grandparents with all of their children and 3 of their 7 grandchildren. My sister and I must have been at our maternal grandparent’s house. We do appear in the header photograph in front of the same house and the same year.
Back: Gladys Cleage Evans; Louis Cleage; Anna Cleage Shreve; Albert B. Cleage Jr; Barbara Cleage Martin; Hugh Cleage.
Summer 1951. 2270 Atkinson, Detroit, MI.
Great photo!
Thanks Bernita. One of my cousins sent it to me after we started corresponding about family history. Apparently someone had sent her mother a copy way back when.
Soo cool! I’ve never seen this! Great! 🙂
How about Louis and Henry’s ties?
Now that’s a picture I know you treasure! How wonderful to have all the children pictured with their parents.
I know. I don’t remember another group family photograph until about 1978 or so. Don’t know why we didn’t take more.
I love family pictures. This is a good one.
There is another one with fewer in it that isn’t all wrinkled but it only has a couple of the kids and grands in it.
Dr. Cleage was looking Good as a Pop-Pop! I love his EXPRESSIONS in the many photos of him. I like him! He always looked so INQUISITIVE! loved the babies. I know they got a laugh at Aunt Gladys. She had Mom’s look…..
I don’t know, she and Henry are both giving Warren a look.
Wow – have seen pictures of all of them as kids and then again when closer to the age where I remember them, but don’t recall any other photos of them all together at this age.
What do you think grand-daddy is saying to baby Ernie?
I don’t know but Ernie is looking kind of worried about it, isn’t he 🙂
I love it when people are willing to give you photos of the family…I have received quite a few since I have been on this journey. Thanks for sharing yours.
I’ve gotten quite a few photographs but I think this may be one of the two that have been of my family. I try to do the right thing and scan and give back family photos that I have too.
Lovely family pic Kristin and you/Pearl are too cute!:)
Thanks Luckie. We were pretty cute 🙂
Love those family group photos…and the family resemblances!!
Me too! I saw a photo today of one of my cousins great grandmother’s from her other side of her family and she looks so much like her! Amazing how those looks pass down. Makes me wonder who we would look like if we had older photos.
