| Doll Face Grandma Long Ingles hardly looks even real in this picture. What big eyes and such an innocent look. Who'd of thought so many people would come from her genes and from her influences in life. I was greatly affected and am still finding things I've learned |

| Marge, Kenny, Everett Long My Grandmother - always laughing, having fun, doing and dressing however she liked. She would have been a great buddy. When she died, my grandfather told me that he had "lost the best friend I ever had." He died like only a month later. He didn't have to |

| Relaxed This is maybe my favorite picture of my Grandmother. She looks like everything a woman was NOT supposed to look like in this day - barefoot, short hair, overall ! And she looks like she could not care less. She would've been a hippy in my day. And I didn' |

| Young Momma Flapper This is about 1927 and that's Roy Lee sitting on the sidestep. Classic 20's look! |

| Three cord knot - not easily broken. I like granny in this picture. She looks so natural and just herself. In later years when they became Pentecostal, her and her girls had to wear their hair in religious braids or up in a bun. I only saw her once or twice as a child with her hair down. It |

| Two Grandkids I remember Granny had a bad leg for a while and came to stay at our house on Mesa Dr. in Peoria. I remember her on this mom day and night cause she had a bad sore like infection on her leg. She was very quite, introverted, thinking person. I had the feeli |
