After hoping and hoping and hoping, I am thrilled to say that today my mom and I got to see a picture of Mary J “Annie” Bondurant, my second great-grandmother, for the first time. A distant cousin, Joanne Stephens, through marriage (through the Curtius family, Annie’s second husband’s family) found a photo and emailed it to my mother.
Written on the back is:
left to right-
Frank, Myself, Minnie
Mrs Richards Minnie’s Mother
lady who was a visitor from
Brownsville Tenn,
My dear son Paul.
front-
Baby Paul, 6 years old.
Household
Kitten
Made June 3rd 1923-
For Nellie & Joe, Ed. as Nellie knows these people-
So the people in the photo are:
Frank Curtius-Annie’s second husband
Mary J “Annie” Bondurant-my 2nd great-grandmother
Minnie Virginia Richards-my great-grandmother and Annie’s daughter-in-law
Minnie DeMumbrie-my 2nd great-grandmother and Minnie Virginia Richards’ mother
I’m not sure who the woman from Brownsville, Tennessee is, but she is a relative of some sort, I’m sure
James Paul Stalls, Sr-my great-grandfather, Annie’s son and Minnie Virginia Richards’ husband (first husband)
James Paul Stalls, Jr-my Granddaddy, Annie’s grandson, J. Paul and Minnie Virginia’s son, my mom’s daddy!
Way to go, Stephanie! All this came about because of your taking time to post your family online! Well done! And thanks for sharing it with us!
