Photo-ville!
(The mysterious land of really,
really old photos)
The Wedding Section
Shocked Groom Number One:
|
|
These are my
great-grandparents on my mother's side. Birnie A. Reinaman at the left looks rather frightened
while his bride Laura Hawn looks rather stylish in her puffed sleeves.
Birnie could only speak Pennsylvania Dutch (a very low form of German) when the
two met so Laura taught him English. |
Shocked Groom Number
Two:
|
|
My paternal great-grandparents, Solomon John and Mandilla Haverstick look
about as happy to get their picture taken as I usually do. Solemn looking
Solomon John laid the stones to St. Paul's U.C.C., which is shown on the New
Oxford Page.
|
| Remember how I told you to remember those two dejected kids
from the Kiddie Page? Here they are again -but slightly better
behaved. From left to right we have Edgar (who's looking a lot like actor
Jimmy Stewart), Rufus, Patrica, and Edgar's wife Helen. |

Shocked Groom Number
Three:
 |
My Grandfather Rufus
Haverstick obviously does not look thrilled in this picture. Is he
just another "Shocked Groom" or was he exposed to too many
flashbulbs that day?
|
Shocked Grooms
just are not what they used to be:
|
|
Perhaps we have the photo technology of the later
half of the 20th century to thank for this but neither of my parents
(John and Laraine Haverstick) looks shocked, scared or overexposed in
their wedding picture.
|
|
Tony never looks shocked (unless I tell him a bad
joke). I should've looked shocked in this picture... I had just drug my
million mile long train through a bunch of muddy woodchips.
