Sorry to correct you Oscar, but I am the daughter of Walter Lovell. I knew his face and stature very well, as well as that of my grandfather, Abraham. I believe this to be Abraham rather than Walter. It looks so much like the ‘Pap-Paw’s face’ I grew up knowing. Also, his wife, Maggie -her maiden name was Stapleton. Bledsoe was the maiden name of her sister-in-law, Bessie Bledsoe Stapleton (wife of Starling Stapleton) You did get the siblings’ names right. Marie and Kathleen are still living in the same areas. My dad, Walter, married my mother, Irene Robinette shortly after leaving the Navy and they soon left the area. My wonderful parents had seven children: Gary (deceased), Richard ‘Rick’, Stanly ‘Stan’, Debra (me), Michael ‘Mike’ (deceased), Timothy ‘Tim’ and Cynthia ‘Cindy’ – I’m quite sure they would all agree that this is Abraham in the picture. Thanks to whoever posted it. Walter died in 1992. Maggie died in 1977 shortly before her daughter, Matilda ‘Tildie’ Are you the son of Ruth and Worley Lovell – seems I remember that Worly had a son named Glen.
Thanks, Debra, for your input!
