Family Photo Friday - My Paternal Grandmother Peggy Scott Rich with her father and sisters

Standing left to right are my grandmother, Peggy Scott Rich, Sarah Jane Rich, my great grandfather, Robert Lincoln Rich and Helen Elizabeth "Libby" Rich. c. mid to late 1920's.

I found this photograph in collections that both my Dad and my Aunt Sally had in their possession. It is the only photograph I have of my great grandfather, Robert Lincoln Rich with his three eldest daughters, Helen, Peggy and Sarah. 

Here is a brief sketch of my grandmother, her sisters and their father in the order they were photographed. 

Peggy Scott Rich is my paternal grandmother and the mother of my father Bill and my Aunt Sally. She is the third daughter of Robert and Lillian (Lanahan) Rich. Peggy was born in 1911 in Kenton County, Kentucky and died in 1973 in Polk County, Florida. She married first, my grandfather William Elmer Williams about 1929 and second to Glendell L. Hammond.

Sarah Jane Rich, is the last child of Robert and Lillian (Lanahan) Rich. She was born in 1913 in Kenton County, Kentucky and died in 1987 in Fayette County, Kentucky. She married Robert Kirtley Points. They had one child.

Helen Elizabeth "Libby" Rich is the eldest daughter of Robert and Lillian (Lanahan) Rich. She was born in 1906 in Kenton County, Kentucky and died in 1967 in Alachua County, Florida. She married Jirah Donald "Don" Buck. They had no children of their own but for a time my Dad and his sister lived with them in Louisville, Kentucky.

Robert Lincoln Rich is the youngest son of Joseph P. and Helen M. (Lambert) Rich. He was born in 1885 in Kenton County, Kentucky and he died in 1953 in Kenton County also. He and Lillian were married in 1905 and were divorced in 1922. Robert and Lillian had a daughter Jean, who died as an infant. I contacted the cemetery where the family is buried while doing my research for this post, however I have not received any word back from them. Robert would later marry Lida Middleton Fowler in 1938 and together they had one child, Lida Fowler Rich.

I will be writing more in depth posts at a later date.

Tombstone Tuesday - The Hoskins Family

When my great Uncle Cromey Hoskins died in March of 1968, he was buried at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. His wife, my great Aunt, Anna May "Mory" Orth Hoskins and was a practicing Catholic and at that time if your spouse was Protestant you could not be buried side by side in a Catholic cemetery. So Uncle Cromey was buried in Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. Buried in the same plot with him are buried Robert C. (1905-1974) and Beulah P. (1905-1990) Hoskins, his brother and sister in law. 

Do you see the differences in the tombstones for Uncle Cromey and Aunt Mory? Uncle Cromey's is more rectangular and has no adornments except his year of birth and year of death. Looking at Aunt Mory's it is much smaller in contrast and has the daffodil, a cross and her year of birth and her year of death. She also has an outline around her name, the flower, the cross and dates. 

This is my great Aunt Anna May "Mory" Orth Hoskins, she died in 1975. As a matter of fact my great aunt and uncle died in March. Uncle Cromey on March 3rd and seven years later Aunt Mory died on March 7th. Aunt Mory is buried in Calvary Catholic Ceremony along with her two children, William Cromey "Billy" Hoskins (1921-1928) and Majorie Hoskins (1919-1934). Billy died from pneumococcal meningitis and Marjorie died of a brain tumor. Aunt Mory and her children are not buried in the same plot but they are near each other. Both Billy and Marjorie have the daffodils on their stones as does Aunt Mory and her parents, Conrad and Katherine (Wilkie) Orth.
