Photos from Adema and Stansbery Albums
August 21, 2010 I visited at Port Colborne, Ontario my second cousins, Bob and Gayle Adema and their son, Rob. Rob, who lives in Buffalo, NY had visited my Newport, PA last month. Bob and Gayle, my daughter Grace and I had visited last March in Florida along with Bob's sister, Peggy Noeltner.
We discovered new and old photos, some they had, some I had from my mother, Geraldine Stansbery and her sister, the late Louise Stansbery Sherwood.
Bob and I are of the same generation, and G.W. and Frankie Osborne are our great grandparents. Bob's grandfather is Bascomb Osborne and my grandmother is his sister, Mayme Obsorne. Go to the Family Lineage page to review the family tree.
Here are some new and shared photos, and I will stay with them for several weeks. For those of you just dying to know more about the Wilcoxson family, you must be patient!

Below are identical photos of Doris and Gladys Osborne, 1921. The one on the left was in the Adema album and is labeled. The one on the right was in the Stansbery album. After 90 years these pictures are joined again. Doris and Gladys were the daughters of Bascomb and Dora Kruger Osborne. Tragically Dora died of a weakened heart at age 32 in 1922, and because Bascomb was unable to care for them property, the two girls and their brother, Bascomb K., went to live with Pearl Osborne Wright and her husband Dave in Damascus, Virginia, outside of Bristol.

Gladys is the mother of Bob, Alan and Peg Adema Noeltner. Doris is the mother of Phyllis and Dave Akers.

Both these girls are first cousins of my mother, Geraldine Stansbery Holliman Feick.








My thanks to Bob and Gayle for their kind lunch and hospitality and to their son, Rob, who scanned all these photos. Since 1940, the Adema family has enjoyed a cottage on the north shore of Lake Erie, experiencing soft, cool summer breezes and gazing at water and passing lake freighters.

More photos later this week!
