John's Relatives

Hey there again! Remember a month or so (maybe more by now...time flies) when I posted about "Some dude"? Well, he facebook-ed a few pictures that I naturally stole to post here as well.

Forrest H. Nesselrode 1887-1956


John H. Nesselrode 1922-2004


Yes, it is hard to read, but well worth it! Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Nesselrode and Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Deem (J.H. and Mrs. J.R. were brother and sister) celebrated their 50th wedding Anniversaries on the same day! (Yes, the couples were married in a double ceremony.) A part of the article along the side of the pictures says:
"Fifty years ago, J.H. Nesselrode and his sister, Dolly were married at a double ceremony in the same house that will house the Saturday gathering. She became Mrs. Deem and her friend, Anna Moulton, Mrs. Nesselrode."

Thanks, John for more "stuff" on us!!

HUGS!

Family Photos 1 Images NOT resized

Allright. You were warned. Here are some photo reprints obtained while I was "up nort" visiting my folks over Easter.

Here is a rather handsome looking fellow. He was known as Whitey to his Civilian Conservation Corps crew, and Milford to his Kansas family and relatives.
James Milford Nesselroad, Sr.

Not too bad, hey? Well now we are going to go back in time a bit and then come forward again. Why? Because as we head forward, I know the people! I will stick a couple up on facebook too, and those will be marked here with an "FB". That way when you get here, you will know where you "just saw that picture somewhere" :o)
"FB"
Back Row L->R: Osmer Wesley Nesselroad, Lura Nesselroad-Gehring, James Nesselroad (killed in an accident)
Front Row: John Nesselroad and Margaret J Hendershot-Nesselroad
Correct?


Jane Grimes Nesselroad? (Osmer's Grandmother if we have this photo labeled correctly)

Now it gets dicey. See it looks like a family gathering in the next one. Looking carefully, we can identify some folks. This is where I am hoping someone out there can fill in our gaps.
"FB"
Here is what I have on the back of the photo...it could be erroneous! The '?' mean someone I don't know. I am going to use 3 rows of people since the last 2 sort of blend in with each other anyway.
Front Row L->R: Newt Nesselroad, ? on lap, ? (Mrs. Newt :o) )
Second Row L->R: ?, ?, ?, ? (boy), ? (orientation note: These are 4 young ladies and one young lad right behind Mrs Newt).
Back 2 Rows (go face by face to follow the '?') L->R: ?(Flora Martin), Helen Nesselroad, ?, James Nesselroad Sr, ?, ?(Lura Nesselroad-Gehring?), ? (Osmer?)

Whew! Here are some pictures where we are 99.9% sure of who is pictured:

Face by Face, L->R: James Sr, Helen, Annie Beatty (Nellie Beatty-Nesselroad's mom?), Carl Nesselroad (died from appendicitis), Mildred.

Scary looking Grandma, huh? This is Nellie Geneva Beatty-Nesselroad. She was James Sr's mom. Pops says he remembers being a little scared of her when she would come to visit. L->R: Janet Mary Nesselroad-Nori, Nellie, Little Pops...umm James Milford Nesselroad, Jr.

Finally a family picture before my Uncle Wes entered in. This is the original homestead of the Nyssela Family (Noooo-Seh-Luh), my Grandma's family.

L->R: Janet Mary Nesselroad-Nori, James Milford Nesselroad, Sr., Elma Elnora Nyyssela-Nesselroad, James Milford Nesselroad, Jr.
