Sirl / Green pictures

Katherine Howe's great-granddaughter Kelly Moran sent me 3 pictures that I've put onto the website.

Pic #1 is of Katherine Josephine Howe (formerly Green / nee Sirl) in her later years.

Pic #2 is Katherine's son Raymond Francis Green with a "cousin." I believe that the cousin is Dorothy W. Weilemann (later Rooth) and have so listed the picture. This early 1920s picture may have been taken at Geauga Lake. Ray's grandparents had a stand at Geauga Lake per Gertrude Malone's letter. Is anyone here old enough to remember how Geauga Lake used to look? (Perhaps a newly-turned 65-year old?)

Pic #3 is identified only as "Ray and George". Raymond Francis Green is the boy on the left and George William Green Jr. is the boy on the right. George was born in 1909 and Ray in 1912 which would date this picture in the late 1910s. It's possible that the older woman on the left is their grandmother Alice McCarthy and the man in the picture is their father George William Green Sr. As for the younger woman and the older boy??. Any ideas?

Kelly would welcome any reminsences re Katherine and her sons George and Ray Green. Ray is Kelly's grandfather.

Gertrude Malone letter transcription

In 1990 Karen Moran, a granddaughter of Katherine Josephine Sirl, wrote to Gertrude M. Malone (nee Sirl) requesting information re Katherine and the Sirl family. Aunt Gertie responded with a letter about her family memories. Karen Moran's daughter, Kelly Moran, graciously emailed a copy of the handwritten letter to me a few months back.

I've transcribed the letter, adding footnotes and pictures. With the kind permission of Karen and Kelly, I've put the transcription of Gertrude's letter on the website.

It's on the HomePage under the Sirl section and also a link in the Notes section of Aunt Gertie's entry. The transcription is in PDF format, meaning that you need to have the Adobe Reader installed on your PC. I believe that most people already have Adobe Reader but if you don't, it's available for free from Adobe at this link:

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

I hope you enjoy the transcription as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Thanks to Karen, Kelly, and Aunt Gertie.

If anyone has corrections or additions to the transcription, please let me know.
