A Few Old Pictures From My Mom's Side Of The Family (The Ebners)

Sue and I went to Malvern today to bring home my Mom's sewing machine. It is old but in good condition and has a nice table that is made to hold a sewing machine. We looked at some other things while we were there and found quite a few old pictures. I photographed a few with my phone and have picked some of them to post here. Mom was good at putting names and other information on the back of pictures. That's good because I would not have known some of these people. Jim and I talked about getting all the old pictures scanned and stored on DVD or something. That's in the future. We want to be sure that we don't lose any of the Ebner history.

My Mom and her brother John (mid-1920's)

(that baby carriage is in her bedroom now and in excellent condition)

My grandparents, William (Bill) and Irene (Rennier) Ebner

(This is how I remember them when I was a kid)

The lady in the wheelchair is Mary Ebner, my 2x great-grandmother.

The lady on the left is Ella Rennier, my Grandma's mother. Her husband is partially visible next to her. I don't recall his first name, but it is written on the back of the photograph. The middle of the three women is Ella's mother, whose married name was Worley.

This is my Grandpa Bill when he was serving in the army during WWI.

Another picture of Mom and Uncle Johnny(ready for church)
Mom was shy as a kid. In many pictures, she is looking down)

Here is a picture that I don't remember seeing before. This is Mabel Rennier, my Grandmother's sister. She became Sister Mary Nora, a nun in the order of The Sisters of Notre Dame. I remember going to visit her many times. She was in Norwalk, OH then later in Canton and in Toledo. Sue drove my Mom to Toledo to attend Sister Mary's funeral. She was a wonderful gardener and quite the comedienne. This picture was taken on my grandparent's wedding day. Aunt Mabel, as my Mom called her, was the Maid of Honor. The other picture shows my grandparents on their wedding day.
