My Garretson ancestor's home town of Nellis, West Virginia in 1926. Daddy would have been 3 at the time they lived here.
My great grandfather the Reverend Patrick Lawson Garretson.
My Grandpa Garretson, Aunt Stella, Aunt Elsie, Grandma Garretson, Aunt Dorothy and Stella's boys.
My Uncle Sebert Garretson. He was only 16 in these pictures. He worked in the coal mines and died when he was in his early 20's. I can't recall what happened but I believe he was killed in the coal mines.

Great photos, and your very young uncle looks quite dapper in his striped suit. I think the coal mines killed many, many men before their time.
