This is the end of the pictures for the English Sims Family Album.
I am posting pictures of my Paternal Great Grandparents Henry and Allie B. English Sims, and their children, and grandchildren.
Front Row: Henry Sims, Betty Jean Sims, Allie B. English Sims, and Louise Sims Seay.
All of their children. L. to R.: Betty Jean, Bonnie, Luvern, Eddie Lee, Louise and Eunice. (Granny is hiding she must not have liked how she looked that day!)
Front: Betty, Henry and Bonnie.
Henry with Great Grandsons Greg, on horse Steve left and Keith Holland right. Picture taken in 1969 in Ruskin at Henry's house. He raised and trained these minature ponies and sold them to the carnival companies to use for pony rides. And he restored and sold parts for old vintage cars.
Allie B. English Sims around 1950. The back of this picture has " Our little Doll House. Ha Ha!" In 1955 Allie B. suffered a stroke and died in Marianna while visiting Aunt Louise.
Left to Right: Doyle Holland, Luvern Sims Holland, Hubert Holland holding Mickey Wayne Holland and Bob Holland holding the truck.
Joe Watford gave me this postcard that Granny sent to her Aunt Alma Viola English Watford. Granny always called her Aunt A.V.
This is Grandpa hanging out at the gas station on the Cottonwood Highway. Not sure but I think it is his cousin, Harley Halstead's station. I am guessing his car in the background. It's in the background of the next picture too.
Granny during a family reunion in the 70's. I think that is her Italian Cream Cheese Cake in the picture.
Eddie Lee Sims was the second child born to Allie B. and Henry Sims. He was their only son. His Pictures follow:
Mary Louise Sims was the third child born to Allie B. and Henry Sims.
Eunice Sims was the fourth Child born to Henry and Allie B.
Eunice and brother Eddie Lee Sims
Voncile Sims was the 5th child born to Henry and Allie B. Sims.
Betty Jean was the 6th and youngest child born to Allie B. and Henry Sims.
That's the majority of the pictures I have of Allie B., Henry and their children. I did find a negative that I had developed but gave all the copies I made away! Will get another one made. It's the only picture I have ever seen of Henry and Allie B. Alone.
Here's the Italian Cream Cheese Cake Recipe.
You can substitute 1 cup unsalted butter for 1/2 cup oleo and 1/2 cup shortening.
