Calvary Presbyterian Church Cemetery next to grandaddy and grandmothers grave. i hope to see them someday. I want to tell you about the family that i grew up in. As we walk on down the road of yester-year i can't help but think of all the good times that we had as a family. Yes as children we had great times together. over many rivers and as time moves on we have started leaving one by one. Mother died in 1971 mother was 71 at her death. Next was our oldest brother D.L. O'Shields Jr. He died in 1981 at the age of 61. Daddy died in the year 1987 in June daddy was 86 years of age at his death. Next to die in our family was our sister Mildred O'Shields Seaborn she died in 1988 she was 65 at her death. Now from a list of eight children only three are left. And mother and daddy both are gone. Yes looking at a family of ten seven gone. But i really thank God for just letting me be a part of this family. Mother and daddy on this picture at this time they had been married for 50 years and when mother died they had been married for 52' years. Yes i'am giving you history and i hope that this is a help to you.
