Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Old Family Photos

Ran across these recently. The first is my Grandfather, DW Hounshell, at the curing trough. Smoke house behind the farm house, SW Virginia. Taken right after WW II. We did all our own meat slaughter, curing and were pretty much self sufficient.
Second is the same gentleman, but much earlier, with his sons. More were born later, but this is Bill, Charles and Fred. Bill and Charles went on to serve in WW II. Bill with Patton in North Africa and Europe. Tank commander. A Sargent. Charles with the Navy. Gunnery officer on Destroyers. Had 4 ships sunk out from under him. Three by kamakazi.
Third picture is my Mom on the left, (now 98 years old), with Bill, Charles, Fred and my aunt Mable.
