Home movies - part 6

In honor of Valentine's Day this Saturday, I share some folks who loved each other. First my grandparents, Ada and George Rogers, Sr, who were married for 55 years.

Ada Rogers, 1947 Houston TX

George Rogers Sr, 1947 Houston TX

George Rogers Jr and Barbara Rogers, Nov. 9, 1945 Dallas TX

Mataley Rogers, Dec 25, 1947 Houston TX

My parents, Mataley and George Rogers, Jr. were married 49 years.

Many times I wished that they had divorced since the tension was so awful when growing up in their house...but when I'd become an adult and moved out, and after my Dad died in 1985, I saw that under all their faults, they did love each other. 

This Valentine's post of old photos is being shared on Sepia Saturday.  Come over there to see some other interesting "sepia or otherwise" posts maybe related to this theme.

Company A

In Ft. Worth, Texas, back in 1931, my Uncle Chauncey Rogers was a Captain (listed in left column) and my father George E. Rogers was a Corporal (also left column), in Company A.

With the honorary female Captain, Peggy Leland in the front row, I'm pretty sure that's Uncle Chauncey sitting next to her.  But where oh where, is my father?  If the rest of the company is lined up in rank, then where would Corporals appear?  I thought further back, but I'm now considering it's likely he's directly behind his older brother...that chin and ears look like him perhaps.

There are other mentions, and pictures of Uncle Chauncey, but this is the only page with my father appearing in that yearbook. Central High School, Ft. Worth, Texas. 1931
