Granny's newspaper clippings.....Contentment

I found this poem "Contentment" In a big box of newspaper clippings that Granny saved. I have been busy scanning many of them to share with you. This one is sweet and I know it touched her heart and made her smile.

Clippings from the newspaper Granny saved.

Kenneth Childree is Granny's cousin. Kenneth's mother was my Granny's Aunt. Rosa Lee, Kenneth's mother, was 3 years older than Granny. Rosa Lee's mother died when she was a baby and Alli B., Grannys mother, Rosa Lee's sister took Rosa Lee to raise with her children. So Rosa Lee, and Luvern, my Granny were more like sisters. They were very close all their lives.



Allie B. English, Jesse E. English,father, Effie Mae standing next, Lula Anderson English seated Alma standing next to Lula, Ruby in front of Jesse and Anderson is in Lula's lap. Anderson was born in 1912 and he looks to be around 1 year old so we are guessing that this was taken around 1913. Rosa Lee was not born when this picture was taken.



This is Kenneth as a toddler with his mother and father Rosa Lee and Tullie Childree.



This is Alli B. with her grandchildren. Standing left is my father, Doyle, his brother Bob is on the car and his cousin Faye is standing.

  

We are not sure who this is. Alli B. had a sister, Effie Mae, who died when she was about 21 years old. This may be her.
If  any one knows let me know.
