Kaye Swift Baxter Mom said the Weimer reunions were held at the sugar bush which is behind where Mom and Dads house is now.
They had a spring up there and always made ice cream for the dinner.
She said it was always very cool under the big trees!

Kaye Swift Baxter It was where they tapped the trees and it was very large. When I was a kid we used to get hundreds of gallons from the trees. Many trees are gone but still there are a small grove. We gathered the sap in milk cans on a stone boat with horses and hauled-to the sugar shanty to boil down. It was a large operation in February.

If I had to make a very wild guess, I think Emma Brock might be the short lady in the back row between Josephine Dingman on the end holding the child and Alice Dingman. I keep trying to find Alva & Lilly Thompson, but can't seem to identify them.

Bonita Bickford Emery My mother (Ilene Bickford Close) would have been a year old in 1931. I think that is her sitting on the lap of our grandmother (Rebecca Fern Weimer). Behind her might be Aunt Trudy Bickford Pagano and behind her Aunt Rita Bickford Blow. Rebecca Fern died in 1932 so not long after this photo.

Thank youSue. I had our grandma and Aunt Ilene figured out and I thought the little boy was Uncle Don or Uncle Kenny.
Do You know who might have a copy of the Bickford family tree?
Also I think our grandfather Glenn is in the very last row 2nd from the end on the right side.

I'll start tagging this later, and I'll post some sections as well. Feel free to add tags. Jeannette Buck had helped me identify many of these, many years ago, Thank You!
Actually, none of the tags I've added are sticking, apparently at this stage, because they're not (nor will they ever be, alas!) FaceBook friends, so until I figure this out, the comments will have to suffice.
Please correct and add.

Dawn M Newton Wow, John, this is so fascinating! Thelma Meacham, aforementioned, was a sister to Alta Clark (Roy), Mildred Dingman (Robert of Coneville store), and Leona Criss (Lawrence). I don't know who their parents were. Probably we're getting back into Wetmore Meachams. Also, was Robert Dingman one of the Dingmans we're discussing? Elton Swift probably was connected to Eva's husband, Alfred. I think they were all Shinglehouse/Coneville oriented. There was a Swift, Morris, I think, who committed suicide in his barn. They lived on Rt. 44 toward Coudersport from Elton & Thelma. I can still remember everyone talking about that and how shocked people were.

Here's some more information for Dave Wetmore that I find in some information Carol got from my mother: Ed Meacham was grandpa William Thompson's uncle, a brother of Eliza Meacham Thompson. He lived down Dingman Run in the area where the Niles Hill Road goes up over the bank on the left hand side. He lived down over the steep bank on the right. He was a bachelor and a civil war veteran. He used to give my grandmother, Dawn Thompson Matteson, 50 cents to knit him a pair of wool sox. She knit them from home-spun wool and thought that 50 cents was a fortune. They called him Uncle Ed. On the left side of Dingman Run, across the road from him, lived the Burtons who had a smart aleck son, Henry. He did everything he could to tease and pester Uncle Ed. One afternoon or early evening, Uncle Ed took his gun down and shot Henry as he ran up the hill towards home. In a panic, thinking Henry dead, Uncle Ed set his own home on fire, took his pistol and went over to his nephew's (Uncle Bert Thompson) barn where he shot himself. They found him dead there. Henry Burton lived to a ripe old age. Mom said she could barely remember this because she was so young, but thinks it happened around 1907 or so.

Dave Wetmore I may be a little late on this but Henry Dingman (1825-1897) was indeed Isaac F.'s father. His spouse was Amy E. Brock. Henry was a private with Company G, 53rd Pa. Volunteers during the civil war. Henry's father was possibly John Dingman (1787-1878), spouse of Hannah ? He came from Chenango county NY in 1816. He was a veteran of the war of 1812.

Your father may remember where Harry and Freddy Bloom lived on Green Hill. Past George Clark's to the intersection and turn right. The first place you come to on the right. That is where Uncle Bert Thompson lived. David Acker and family lived there until a few years ago. If you go straight at that intersection up the hill, Will Thompson lived on top of the hill. There was quite a long lane to the right to get to his house. If you turn left at that intersection you go down past the Potter Game Club to the Fishing Creek Road.
