Ruby & Eben's Seven Oldest Children
Mildred, Lorna, Stub in back row; Marion, Fred, Earl, Dot in front.
Earl, Stub, Fred Merritt
I have to admit I would not know that is who this was, so it had to have been ID'd on the back of the photo with names. {if you KNOW that this is an error, let me know.]
Earl, Grampie Ebbie, Byron, Fred Merritt
This was taken out behind our house at a reunion there back in ?1950 or so?
Merrit Reunion
This was taken in front of our farmhouse in approx 1947, judging from my age in photo. Back row: Earl and Ruth Merritt holding?; Cecil and Lorna Merritt Murchie; Margaret McKnight Merritt; Mildred Merritt Howard; Eben & Faye Wiggins Merritt. Front Row: Fred & Claire McLaughlin Merritt [Fred is holding? Douglas Merritt, I think]; Karen L Hannigan, holding flowers/lilacs?; Frances, Frank, Ruby Howard [Ruby has arms around Penny, our dog]; Willard Howard with Gerald Murchie in his lap, Judy, Millard and Bobby Merritt [tiered down] and then my father, James Edward Hannigan. [Mom should've been in photo instead of Dad, so am guessing that he took a photo of same group with her in it? ...anyone have that one?]

Girls just wanna have fun! Great photo!
Stub Merritt; Lorna Merritt; Fern Barton; Mildred Merritt; Cora Barton
This is another photo, I'd have had no idea, but Mom or Aunt Lorna had written names on the photo...thank goodness! I think the Bartons were big into playacting, dress up etc...as several costume type photos have been found. Aunt Cora Barton Nicholson is one we knew well; but Fern Barton, was evidently Uncle George Barton's daughter--whom I know nothing about, I fear.
Lorna, Stub and Mildred Merritt
Think they put boys in dresses more often back then?!! This photo also had to have been marked to identify.
