This photo is of the Jackson family—Grandma’s family. There are no photos of our family’s gatherings in those days except when the family was able to gather at the local photographic portrait studio in Paterson. This photo was taken in 1902 or early 1903. We know that because Uncle Harold was born in 1902—the last child in the family. Missing are the three children that died in the epidemic of 1899. Can you pick out Grandma? She was born in 1888. As well, there are Jackson aunts in the picture who should be familiar to our older Wehrell cousins because they often showed up for the summer weekend picnics on Uncle Ken’s and Aunt Gay’s recreational property in Saddle River with the cabin and the pond. Aunt Jen, Aunt Lil and Aunt May are among them.
