Pictures of the Month

The following pictures were submitted by Vincent Michael Knoll of a Maxson Reunion held, possibly, in 1929 with the following explanation:

"I don't know where the 1929 reunion picnic was held. The photo is part of a collection that belonged to my mother and the answer is long gone. Maybe someone "out there" knows. Incidentally, "Uncle Andy" and "Aunt Annis" are in the 1929 photo too. Perhaps both photos were taken at the same time and place. The picture I have of "Uncle  Andy's" headstone is captioned as being at the Edna Cemetery. Have you ever checked on the number of Ednas in this country? My guess is that, in this case, Edna, KS is the location, since it's not far from Coffeyville which is where Willard died, according to the database. Perhaps the location of the reunion was in the Midwest."
