| "Aunt Bee" |
Meet Rebecca Amelia Pribble Shields otherwise known as "Aunt Bee". She is the only full sister to my great-great grandmother Flora Helen Marr Pribble Gentry. Growing up I had heard fond references to this aunt:)

| "Uncle Herschel, Aunt Clara & Carl?" |
Meet my great-great-Uncle Herschel, Aunt Clara, and I think their son Carl ("Bee" would have been Hersch's aunt). Uncle Hersch had one other son named Herschel Raymond who died when he was only 6, so I think this was taken after his death when Carl would have been about 10 in 1919/20.
Hersch and Clara settled in Washington State.

I am so excited to see what other treasures might lie in Aunt Frances's collection!
Hi, Wendi -
ReplyDelete"Uncle Ed" may well be Edgar Gentry, Flora and Milton's oldest son who became a banker in North Dakota before moving to Washington State to join Herschel. At any rate, the resemblance to Edgar's sister, Elizabeth Gentry, is striking. -- Pat Hassan.
Pat! I am so sorry I missed your comment. I haven't been on here in a while, and it didn't notify me of a comment. I hadn't thought of it being Edgar. Thanks for the idea on that. How are you? I have been so negligent in correspondence, I miss talking to you:)
DeleteGlad you're back online with your blog! I love following your family's adventures :) Tried to become an "official" follower, but can't figure out how to register my computer ID for it. I miss talking to you, too, and this is a second-best means of keeping up. Shorty is indeed the perfect age for Fritz's! We've taken our grandsons in the past. Now they're getting too old to truly appreciate it fully, because I think you need to be under 7 for that! :)
ReplyDeleteCannot tell you what a strong resemblance this "Uncle Ed" has to my Grandma Elizabeth - amazing, really. Recently learned from a cousin some more family history about my dad's side, so I've also been doing some casual genealogy searches. Keep on bloggin'! Pat.

ReplyDeleteI just googled Samuel Winfield Scott Pribble (my Great Grandfather who was married to Margaret Ann Nichols and was Edward's mother and my Great-Grandmother) and found your blog. Edward Pribble, Samuel's son, was my Grandfather. This is not a photo of him. I have other photos that you could compare. I remember the Gentry family. Orie and Kate Gentry were close to my Grandparents (Edward and Hattie Pribble ... her maiden name was Hedwig Ernestine Warnatzsch. I believe Grandpa's full given name was Edward Churchill Pribble, but I would have to check on that.)Orie and Kate lived in Carterville, Illinois and in their later years I believe they moved to Washington, MO

Thanks Linda! I would love to see a pic of Uncle Ed Pribble! I really think Pat is right and that the "Uncle Ed" above is Edgar Gentry, I'd never heard him referred to by anything other than Edgar though:) I'll correct my caption. Do you have a picture of Samuel W.S. Pribble? I do! He is my ggg-grandpa:) I could send you a copy:) I got to meet Uncle Orie & Aunt Kate when I was very young. When my hubby and I were first married we actually lived in Carbondale, IL which was just down the road from where S.W.S.Pribble & Orie lived! Knowing that made me not so homesick for the 8 mos. we were there:) If you'd like to e-mail me, you can get the address from the "my profile" section near the top:) Thanks for dropping me a note! :)

Cool! Thanks:)
DeleteWendi et al. - Yes, in fact, I have a photo of Edgar Gentry's house in Dakota. It's a very nice place, and, as a banker, he was probably the most prosperous of all Milton and Flora Gentry's children. You can see the house in the background and the garage in the fore with a very grand automobile in the drive! The photo was obviously meant to impress, and it did. My Grandma Elizabeth Gentry Tebben's handwriting on the back says, "Ed's home." So, he was indeed called "Ed" by family. Grandma called Herschel "Hersch" while telling her stories - and most of them regarding her childhood mentioned him, because he was next older, and she was the youngest (after Carroll died).
ReplyDeleteI also met Orie and Kate when I was a child, when they visited Kansas. And I met Orie again when he attended my Grandma's funeral in 1966 and perhaps again later at a Gentry-Tebben Reunion in Leroy. He sang! He was a beautiful-looking old man with his white mane and bushy eyebrows (a Gentry trait). He died at 99, I believe, lucid to the end.
Glad to see you have such far-flung interest in your blog! :) Pat.
