Ethel and Mike Mack at the Old St. Joseph's Church
in Preemption in August 1947. The occasion was their
retirement from farming and move to Rock Island.
| Pictures above and below were taken at the old St. Joseph's Church in Preemption township, IL in August 1947. The celebration was for Ethel and Mike Mack in the center of the photos. Gerry Conway could identify some of the people: Foster Farnsworth, Grace Wheelan Farnswoth (funeral home), Josephine Vershoore, Charles Conway (side vies), Mabel Conway, Tom Conway (white t-shirt), Gerry Conway, Helen Boyles, Helen's mother Lizzie, Meg Conway, Mary Loring, Anna Conway, Myra Brennan. Also, son Dan Mack, on Mike's left. |
This picture was taken in Washington, Iowa,
so it has to be a Wheelan gathering.
Ethel Mack is marked with an X above her head
and Mike Mack is in front row, far right.
