Uncle Charles' work was completed by my husband, Jonathan Bush, on November 20, 2010. He went alone and I wasn't able to be in attendance, but I felt a special spirit that day and felt especially close to Grandma Barton. I know there was a lovely reunion in heaven.

There aren't any names on back, so I'll
have to see if Mom can figure it out for me.



Caption: "Joseph Birt and his work horse."

I love every thing about this picture. I feel like
I am right there when I look at it. I've always
adored animals and whenever Grandma talked about her
Dad's horses, I could tell she and the family loved them
like they were part of the family.



Joseph Birt.
No caption here, but Grandma told me how
much her parents enjoyed camping.
Also, feels like the men in our family have
always been "Chevy" guys.

Caption: "Joseph & Josephine Birt at Joyce's wedding 1964."

Caption: "Joseph & Josephine Birt. Our Blue Mash car.

Wish I could get my hands on that dress! Timeless!

Grandma birt, Grandpa Birt, Bill & Nanette Barton,
Art, Gail, & Allen Birt.
What a handsome young dad Grandpa Barton was! I'm pretty sure
you could replace me as a little girl in that pic and not be able to tell the difference.
Hope I get a mini-me one day!
