1913 South Main Street Picnic This photo was attached to the THS BB team 1907 photo. No names are listed on this photo, but it must have something to do with the Lyon or Shere family.
Lyons in Tampico This photo is of Lloyd Rife, Mina Rife, and Minerva. Mina married two years before Minerva. I don't know when or where this photo was taken. Mina and Lloyd moved to Alabama at some point. So far I have been unable to locate any of their descendants. Sandi

Minerva Lyon "I believe this photo was taken shortly before my Minerva Lyon married my grandfather was Charles Henry Hartnell. He was from Stacyville, Iowa, and was attending Iowa State College in Ames, IA when he met Minerva. Minerva attended Upper Iowa University for at least one year, 1908-1909. At UIU she became a close friend of Martha Hartnell, Chuck's sister. Minerva visited the Hartnell home in Stacyville on holiday from school and me Chuck there. They married January 17, 1912 in Prophetstown. Minerva died when her son, my father, was 4 years old. Granddad didn't talk much about her and we didn't know anything about the family except that she was from Tampico, IL. One of my four sisters looks nothing like the rest of us, and we always teased her about being someone else's daughter - the milk man, the mail man, etc. When we saw this picture some years later and immediately realized that she looks much like Minerva at the same age."

Twins on steps Again, I don't know where this was taken. Minerva is on the left, Mina on the right. (You'll notice some of them have a notation "your mother." This was written by my grandfather for a photo album for my dad. My grandmother, Minerva, died when my father was 4 years old and he has no recollection of her, unfortunately. She died of a tubal pregnancy. I just got her death certificate and see that they did surgery, but it was either too late or there were further complications. Sandi
Twins Playing Game In this photo the girls are playing a game called Caroms, presumably in their own home, although I can't say that with certainty. Mina is on the left, Minerva on right. Sandi
