    Made me smile. The parents look so proud and quietly happy. Wondered what their story was.

      They probably had an interesting life. He was a pastor of one of the local churches and their six children likely kept them very busy.

    What a gorgeous picture! I love how everyone's eyes are pointing right at the camera and how Ada's hand is resting on her husband's shoulder.
