Friday's Faces From The Past

Probably one of the most patient men I have ever known.

He was so very dear to me, especially as I got older.

This is William "Bill" McHarvey Beane

14 May 1917 - 27 October 2014

Served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1935-1940.

A hero. Storyteller. Family secret keeper. And my uncle.

Man, do I miss him!



****Did you guess where I was at in yesterday's post? Hamburg, Germany at Lake Alster. The Bathing Lady is well known in Germany, and she is featured on many postcards.

Gone But Never Forgotten

I'm Ba-a-a-a-ck!

Not quite like Jack Nicholson in The Shining, but here I am! After more than a year's absence, due to health reasons, I find myself able to do nothing much more than work from an office desk. And what do I know better while sitting at a desk is that work I love most...genealogy research.

Unfortunately for our family, we have lost our eldest living siblings in the family.

On August 16th we lost Margaret Beane Loper.

Margaret was within 11 days of reaching her 100th birthday.

And just last evening we lost William McHarvey Beane.

Bill was 97 years of age, and had been struggling with health issues for some time. Please keep the family in your prayers.

Our newsletter will be out again in just a couple of days! If you haven't subscribed to our digital email, please feel free to send me an email, and I will make sure you receive the very next newsletter.

Have a great evening!
