Mom said the youngest is Raymond. I emailed her this picture and she said thanks. She didn't have this one.

I see ...dad was earl so Ernie would be the equivalent of Jr.
Seriously Sophie looked like the girl version of Ernie.

Odilia Ernest Raymond worked on Ernies chicken farm. not sure if they were partners or not, but they had the rather large chicken/egg farm. FYI, Marshall and us kids would go there during the summer to help.

I dont know what Marshall did, but I helped clean the coop, a very large coop! I helped feed and water the birds, collect the eggs, helped candle them and grade them/sort them and went with Ernie to deliver to the stores around the area. I helped Grandma Crispin as well. she helped teach me how to cook and garden and pick apples, grapes, etc from the trees. of course I got into trouble now and then, but I had fun!

Was Raymond that grandpa Marshall sr ,the closest in form of sibs ? Or location ?

No. Dad was only related by marriage. My Grandma Ward, My Moms Mom, was his older sister. I think it went in order of age: Lawrence, Ernest, Gladys (Grandma Ward), Mervin and Raymond. of course we were close to Grandma, but I think we got along with Ernie the best. Raymond lived next door to Ernie and Gr Grandma Crispin and we rarely saw him. at least I didnt. I didnt really get to know Lawrence and Mervin, much
