The Sons of Leroy Osborne - 1910s?
The second child born to live to maturity of G.W. and Frankie Wilson Osborne was Leroy Milburn Osborne (2/17/1879 - ?). He lived in Cleveland, Tennessee in 1936 and was married to LenaHolsclaw (9/17/1879 - ?). They had three boys, seen below: Ralph Summers, Albert Leslie and Robert Lafayette Osborne. A girl was named Lucille Osborne. I do not know who is whom below. These are first cousins of my mother, Geraldine Stansbery HollimanFeick. I believe Leroy was a farmer, although his address was 1016 16th Street, Cleveland, TN.
Two brothers married Holtsclaws. Toby married Alta Holsclaw(perhaps spelled Holtzclaw or Holtsclaw). I believe they may have married these girls when the family lived in Ashe Co., NC or shortly thereafter. More research needed, but I assume they were sisters. I love the knickers on the two young cousins.

More Adema and Stansbery Photographs, No. 4
by Glenn N. Holliman
Our review of the photos of Bob Adema continues.
1930
Unless I am mistaken, this is my uncle Charles S. Stansbery, Jr, age approximately 12, with his grandmother, Frances Wilson Osborne. Charles would join the Army Air Corp in 1937 and have a long career before retiring in the early 1960s. He married Anne Smith of Philadelphia in 1943 after having known her only five weeks. Their life long love affair began at the Stage Door Canteen when he was home on leave (his mother, Mayme Osborne and sisters, Louise Stansbery Sherwood and Geraldine Stansbery HollimanFeick, my mother, were living in Pennsylvania at the time). Frankie, the inspiration of this on going blog, seemed to be dressed always in a black dress. She would have been almost 80 years old in this photograph. I believe the picture was taken in Bristol, Tennessee, Mayme's home from 1919 to 1941.
