Here are a few of interest to the Kaiser side of the family. These are from more recent years. See also Kaiser Family Tree and Kaiser Family History Photos (2) and 3.
FYI, I have the group photos from the 2002, 2003 and 2005 Kaiser family reunions. They came out well. If you are family and would like to see the full-resolution shots, email me and I can tell you where to view a private photo gallery online. If you'd like a print, I can get one for you if you tell me what size you'd like.
Here are the children of Harry Albert Kaiser and Emma May Wingerd.
Back row, from left: Wallace, Harry, Eugene, Paul, Lawrence
Front row: Naomi, Mary, Cleo.
If anyone knows what year this was taken, please let me know. Probably 1985 or before since Uncle Paul died in 1986.
(Date unknown) Another from the same date as the photo above, this with spouses. Again, if anyone knows what year this was taken, please let me know. Probably 1985 or before. |
(8/1995) Kaiser Family Reunion A shot of some of our beloved upper generation. (L-R) Wallace, Cleo, Naomi and Harry. |
(8/1998) Kaiser Family Reunion A shot of our beloved upper generation. (L-R) Harry, Wallace, Owen, Jack, Cleo and Naomi. Note that Jack Ness is husband to Naomi, and Owen Henry is husband to Mary, not Kaiser descendants. |
(8/2000) Kaiser Family Reunion A shot of our beloved upper generation (+ Wyatt) (L-R) Jack, Wyatt and Owen, Naomi, Cleo and Wallace Note that Jack Ness is husband to Naomi, and Owen Henry is husband to Mary, not Kaisers. Wyatt is one of Wallace's sons. Wyatt is holding up a photo of Hezekiah Wingerd, my Great-great grandfather (father to Emma May Wingerd). |
(8/2000) Don Clapper and a photo of Hezekiah Wingerd, my Great-great grandfather (father to Emma May Wingerd). The funny thing about this is that Don is married into the Kaisers (to Shendelle) but is also descended from Wingerd's... and he looks a great deal like Hezekiah. |
(8/2001) 2001 Kaiser Family Reunion Most of the surviving upper generation at the 2001 reunion. Aunt Cleo passed away in October 2001 and Grandma (Naomi Ness) on January 4, 2001. Grandpa Ness had died in September 2000. Uncle Owen isn't in this picture though he was there. |
(8/2001) Maurice Kaiser holds an accordian supposedly used by my Great-Great Grandfather Henry F. Kaiser. FYI, Janet Kaiser's descendants have another one that they were told was the one he used. Interesting Family History Tidbit: Henry F. Kaiser served in the US civil war and became blind afterwards. He went through a lengthy process of trying to qualify for disability pension benefits, claiming that the blindness was a result of his service. He was denied the benefits, but there is now a great deal of info about HFK and his family in the National Archive as a result of the application process. Henry played an accordian on the street at times after he became blind and his son Harry Albert (my Great-Grandfather) would go along to guide him and to hold the cup. This is supposedly that accordian. |
