This first picture is of the French Camp School 1919, (Stockton, California). My grandfather, Van Wolfe is in the picture as are his sisters Frances (Adeline) and Eleanor (Birdie) Wolfe.

This second picture is of the Fair Oaks School 1923. The bottom of the picture says "Low-High 8th grade - Fair Oaks School - Stockton, California - 1923-24 - Mr. Hawkinson - Teacher". My grandfather is in the back row on the right side with the big tuft of hair.

J. Van Wolfe

Another picture of my grandfather, but I am not sure who anyone else is in this picture, except that it is just a school picture. Looks like it might be like an 8th grade graduation. He is in the front row, second from the left.

Laundry of yesteryear

Found these items and many more in a lonely trunk in California. They belonged to my mother's side of the family - most likely her grandmother's (Eugenia [Genie] O'Connor Lobdell) and her great grandmother's (Fannie Stiles O'Connor). It was fun washing them up and hanging them out to dry. Hopefully I get them pressed soon and take some more pictures of them.
