Leon (Sylvia’s Dad) and Elouise (Mom) in 1934.

We think that it was on this day (September 7) in 1917 that Sylvia’s father was born. In the excitement taking place in the country home, no one thought to look at the clock. (If the “blessed event” took place before midnight, we’re a day late.) It was 52 years earlier that Leon’s grandfather had moved from Ontario, Canada to St Johns, Michigan.


The family in 1945. Leon and Elouise with daughters, Karen, Sylvia and Joyce.


Today, Leon lives about a mile from the house where he was born. He has lived there alone since Mom passed away in 2001.

Happy 92nd birthday Dad. Just remember, what you do at your party today could be on YouTube tomorrow.

  1. Wonderful pictures, Chuck. Isn't it funny how people didn't seem to think recording a birth's time was important back then.

  2. Happy 92nd Birthday, Leon!! I love those old photos, especially the one on the car. Very cool to have that in your collection!

  3. How nice my granny is that age also. Although she wont admit it.. still going strong. What a interesting Meme. Happy birthday to your father.
