This family picture was taken when the family lived in Portsmouth, Oh. It is the only picture I know of that has all the family together. The First World War was going on because Uncle Charley is wearing his Navy uniform. Mom said that they always referred to them selves as the "Dirty Dozen". I hope I get this right, from left to right as you view the picture: in front is Norman, baby Darrell in Grandma Hannah's lap, Maxie (my mother), and Gusta. Center row: Harrison, Hannah, Pete, Curtis, Top row: Charley, Arb, Mary, Oscar, Roscoe and Anderson. Arb and Oss were twins and always lived very close to each other and worked in the same coal mines with each other. They married sisters, Matilda ("Aunt T") and Inez (Aunt "Ine") Ison. They were in deed a close knit family.
