Hello all, I have been meaning to post these extra bits for a while but got busy preparing for, and then going on vacation. Here is a little more info about Fannie that I dug out of my family history box. I think the photos really put the distance between Fannie's time and ours into perspective. Again, thanks all for reading! This project was a lot of fun.
Fannie's husband's obituary. From this I learned that they had a son who died in infancy. Fannie outlived F.A. by 30 years. I thought I had her obit too, but can't seem to find it. Will keep looking...
"Home of F.A. and Fannie Drummond in Coshocton, OH." I believe the people in the photo are Fannie and her husband and daughters, along with either Fannie's or F.A.'s mother.

Fannie's daughters, Helen and Edna. (Helen is my Great-Grandmother)

Four generations of Fannie's descendants: the baby is me (Jennifer). Next is Fannie's granddaughter, Marilyn, Fannie's daughter, Helen, and Fannie's Great-Granddaughter, Helen.
I just noticed that in F.A.'s obituary, his daughters are listed as Mrs. "name of husband" and their actual first names aren't even listed! I know that's how things were done at the time but it really annoys me that a woman was just referred to by the name of her husband, as though her own identity was irrelevant. His daughters were EDNA and HELEN, thank you very much.
