The Wheat Family

Mom has had this photo of her dad's, my granddad's for years. We are looking for another frame because the original was damaged. Most old photos are oval in shape and slightly bubbled. Really unique but hard to replace parts.
I was so happy to get to see and document this photo of granddad's family.
I'm old enough to remember Great Uncle Will, Great Aunt Peachie, Cousin Oddie, Great Uncle A.D. and Great Aunt Sister (Ettalene).

These pages were found at Aunt Sister's home after her death and are copies from the Family Bible.

Brother David

My brother was born February 5, 1957, eighteen months after me. Here we are sitting on grandma's sofa, I think
