Lovely, Lovely Pictures



Once again I am ever so grateful to those who share photos of loved ones! 

These photos are courtesy of Brenda Szulzewski who shared a collection to Find a Grave & the Waushara County Ancestral Trackers 

She has since deleted many a pic due to poachers taking them as their own with no credit - totally agree & I have written of the same issue.

So, if you copy these from here despite many a poached found on Ancestry, please credit Brenda - thanks!

Lois Adelaide Perry was the daughter of Norman James Perry Sr & Adelaide Devoe and she married Delos Marcus Wood, the son of Hiram C Wood & Delphine A Stillwell; together they had 5 children: Irma, Arlene, Norma, Bonnie & Carol.
