Give a Cheer
This 1926 picture is of my Great Aunt (holding the baby.) There is a very sad story behind it. This is probably the last picture of these three sweet babies. They lived in Kansas on a farm. March 30, 1926, amid a snowstorm, the parents went out to the barn to do chores and the woodstove in the house caused a terrible fire and the children were trapped inside and perished. My Great Aunt Jessie Mae was brokenhearted. In 1930, she gave birth to another baby boy but died nine days later. Such a sad story. I do not want her to be forgotten.
There is hidden journaling behind the pic to the right with her story. I also included a newspaper article published the day after the fire.
Jessie Mae 1902 - 1930
Winfred Mae 1921 - 1926
Ada Belle 1923 - 1926
Ralph Homer, Jr. 1925 -1926
