Nova, Jim, Ray, Tom, Tom, John, and Virgil


This is a photo in which my mother, Nova Madeline Haugh, identified herself (what a cutie), Jim, Ray (my great uncle), and Tom (my uncle) Haugh in the front row. In the back row are Tom (my great grandfather), John Kufer, and Virgil, my grandfather. I'm unsure of Jim Haugh, whom she also identifies in the photo for January 4, in which my uncle, Tom, appears to be the same age as Jim. In this photo, Tom looks a few years older. Click on the photo to see a larger version. Please click on comments if you can tell me whether the young boy is Jim Haugh, Ray's son, or someone else. Also, I have no information on John Kufer's relationship to the family. As a friend? Thanks!

Group with Ray and Tom



Here are two pictures likely taken the same sitting. Tom is sitting in the first row second from the right and Ray is standing behind him. My guess is that the woman to the left of Ray is his wife, Mercedes, and they are holding their children, whose names I do not know. I'm not sure who the others are, but some of them have appeared in other photos. The quality of this photo isn't great even after making some minor adjustments to it in Photoshop.

In the second photo Ray is sitting down to the far right. Tom is seated second from the right. Mercedes is likely the woman with the child in the middle of the back row.

Five Boys at Reunion



Here is a photo of five boys taken, I'm guessing, at the same family reunion shown in the last posting. My mother identified them as all Haughs: Jim, Dick, John, Paul, and Tom. Tom was Virgil's son, but I don't remember whose sons the others are. If you know, please click on the comments link and type in that information. Thanks!

Family Reunion 2




Here is another photo of a family reunion. Please click on the photo to see a larger version of it.

Virgil Haugh is in the back row third from the right. In front of him in black is, I think, Myrtle Haugh, his wife. Of the group of children in front of her on the ground, the girl in the sleeveless top is their daughter, Jeanette. The boy next to her looks like her brother, Thomas, and the girl next to him their sister, Alice. The baby is likely my mother, Nova. I'll put in a photo in which my mother identified them all and which helped me identify them here in a future posting. It's likely, then, that this photo is from around 1924.

Ray Haugh is in the back row second from the left and his dad, Thomas, is third from the left next to him.

The boy in the first row fourth from the left is John Haugh and the boy to the right is Paul Haugh. The boy to the left could be Jim Haugh, but it's hard to see his face. In the group of children to the left of Alice, the boy on the far right could be Dick Haugh. I'm guessing at this information based on a photo of five boys, which my mother identified. I'll post that photo next. I don't recall whose sons they are at this point.

Please let me know if you can identify anyone else by clicking on the comments link.

Haugh Men



Here is a photo of Haugh men and others yet to be identified. In front on the left is Tom Haugh and his sons appear in the second row: Ray on the far left, Garfield second from the right, and Virgil on the far right. The other gentlemen in the picture are not identified, but they appear in other photos, namely the one for entry "Virgil in a Group of 13."

Here is another picture of some of the same men and likely from the same sitting as the first photo. Unfortunately, as you can see, part of the picture was torn away and is lost. Virgil is on the far left and Ray next to him. The other three men are unidentified.

Please click on a photo itself to get a slightly larger version and click comments to add information about the other gentlemen in this picture. Thanks!

Family Reunion or Community Photo


Here is a photo that looks to be either a family reunion or a community photo. Please click on the photo itself to see a larger version of it.

Virgil Haugh is in the third row and eighth from the left. He's hold his hat in his right hand. Ray Haugh is to the right. Their mother, Della Haugh, appears to be just behind Virgil and slightly to the left. Their father, Tom Haugh, appears to be slightly to the right of the white post on the far right the picture.

If you can identify anyone else, note the person's location in the photo and name.

Virgil in a Group of 13



In this photo Virgil is in the back row on the far right. To his right is Ray Haugh. Unfortunately, the original of this is kind of blurry.

Bascom Band




Here's a picture of the Bascom Band. Virgil is in the first row and the second from the left. I was surprised to see what looks like a clarinet in his hand. Both of my sisters and I played clarinet in school!

Hiatus




It's been awhile as you can tell from the dates. Soon after classes started, I neglected this blog, but I'm hoping to make a fresh start with the new year approaching! Although I have some other photos of Virgil's family, I'm going to start posting photos containing unidentified people. My mother identified people in some of the family photos, but we never finished all of them. She passed away the very weekend we were going to sit down and go through the rest. This first round includes photos with people she could not or simply did not identify. If you have any information on any of these photos, feel free to post it here by clicking on the comment link! Click on the photo itself to see a slightly enlarged version.

This photo is of the United Brethren Sunday School. Virgil Haugh is on the far right in the front row. It appears Ray Haugh is second from the right in the front row. The others are unidentified. If you know anyone else in the photo, please provide the name, row and location (third from the left, etc.). Thanks!
