Not Much, Onion, Medicine Shell, Blue Bead, and Takes Bob Cat
I would like to learn more about Native American naming traditions. This 1922 marriage license from Montana shows that “Not Much”, son of “Onion” and “Medicine Shell”, married “Jennie Wallace”, daughter of “Blue Bead” and “Takes Bob Cat”.
Treasure Thomas
Mr. Treasure Thomas (1886-1966) of Rhydyfelin, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1915 he was appointed to the Welsh Guard. I believe here he is pictured in a Police Constable uniform.
Goliath Sines
Goliath Sines (1891-1961), far right, of Chertsey, Surrey, England. Those are some big shoes to fill.
Surrey, England, Electoral Registers, 1934, for Goliath Sines
Homer Simpson
Homer Simpson (1880-1972) Is laid to rest at Owensburg Cemetery in Owensbrug, Indiana.
Mabel Table
Mabel Table, born November 18, 1890 and died July 25, 1945. She is buried at Hillcrest Park Cemetery in Springfield, MA.
Frank Frank (1850-1914)
Frank Frank (1950-1914) - Pilgrims Rest Cemetery, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Abraham Lincoln
An Abraham Lincoln, from the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, registers for the WW II draft. It is neat to see this document also translated in Spanish.
Do you have any of these in your family tree? Which one is your favorite?
