Dennis,
I scanned this picture of my grandmother today. We had had this
picture for a long time, and I always assumed the child was my
dad's brother that died at about that age; but just recently
found out that the little boy was her nephew; the last name was
Isaacs. Thanks for telling me that your dad named his first daughter
Josie. My dad (Harrison Jones) was only 8 when she died but he
always talked about what a kind and resourceful person she was.
Is your sister, Josie, still around?
