FUQUA Photos

I got an email out of the blue on 16 May 2011. It was from Pat saying that she bought a house late in 2009 and "just found a folder of family photos that may have something to do with you." She listed several names and asked if I would contact her. I recognized the last name of "Fuqua" and several of the first names, so I very excitedly replied and told her yes, I thought they were photos of my family members. She mailed me the photos and I was on pins and needles waiting and wondering what was in the folder. The photos are below. Between the my genealogy records and the help of spouse's relatives, I tracked down Spouse's first cousin once removed, Beverly, who had sold her house to Pat accidentally leaving behind these photos. I received the photos on 19 May 2011 and I mailed them to Beverly on Monday, 23 May 2011.

To all my cousins who helped me identify the people in photo #1, I still have people to identify. Those Fuqua Sisters, for example, I don't know them well enough to tell them apart. Help!

#1 - Van's Funeral 1944

2nd Lt. Van Kendall FUQUA was born 14 Nov 1917 in Hamilton County, Texas to Mack Charles FUQUA, Sr. and Hattie Iris KENDALL Fuqua.
