DAY 303 of NONNIE'SPHOTO A DAY: A Blended Family

Today this family would be called a blended family, but in the late 1930s, they were just a family.  The adults are the Kern siblings (including my mom in white clothes and my dad in the middle) with their spouses, mother and their step-father.  The three children are Duckworth siblings. Grandpa Kern died at age 41 leaving seven children.  I knew only my grandpa Duckworth. Two Kern brothers were not present for the taking of the picture.  Judging from the size of the three younger siblings, I was born two years after this.  sharing with Jane's VINTAGE WEEKLY Any bloggers who have vintage photos,  please join us in sharing them!
