Doug & Rhea get together

Rhea is a daughter to Roy and Vera.

This video was put together rather hastily for a Christmas surprise this year.  I'd collected the photos and interview footage in previous months and years before, and I'd always MEANT to assemble something up this avenue, but never got around to it.  I'm glad I finally did.  :)

The unknown lady in the middle looks familiar, but I can't place her.  If anyone can identify her, please leave a comment on this post.  Thanks.

Photo of Roy, Roxa, and Cora

This is a photo of Vera's parents, Roy and Roxa Taylor, and Vera's older sister, Cora.

From the personal albums of Cheryl Murray

My intuition tells me that this photo was taken at a Taylor family reunion- meaning, Roy Taylor's enormous family of brothers and sisters and all their kids.  I say this because the clothing and setup match a similar photo that was labeled as such.  I can't recall which post it was put with, so I've reposted below for comparison:

Taylor Reunion- Roy Taylor and 2/3 brothers in group seated in middle
From the personal albums of Althea Gray

In this photo Roy can be spotted seated (2nd from right) with Roxa standing behind him.  Cora is on the very edge of the photo sitting on the grass.  Only problem here is that this photo came from a descendant of Zelma (the eldest of Vera's sisters) and they had labeled the grass-sitter as Zelma, not Cora.  My personal opinion is that this is Cora in both photos, but regardless, we know she's definitely one of Roy & Roxa's girls.

Little Huber cousins

The following are a smattering of photos of the children of Roy Huber, and Roy's nieces and nephews belonging to his brothers Frank Huber and Elmer Huber.
