BAXTER FAMILY
My late grandmother Bessie Baxter (1892-1976) grew up in
the Gilfoyle whistlestop in Forest County. Recently I discovered
a shoebox of her old photos. Her parents were John Whitlock
Baxter and Margaret McCarthy. They had children Catherine,
Justin, John and Bessie, who all lived in the Gilfoyle area
for many years.
I have many photos of local
Gilfoyle residents. I have identified a few of them, but
there are still quite a few unidentified persons in the
photos. Many of the photos were taken in the 1930s.
Mary If
you can identify any of these people please contact Mary
or myself.
