My cousin Carol Jones found some old family photos and thought I might like to have them. Carol is now retired and living on the cost of Connecticut. Carol grew up in Groveville living with her Mother Edith Rollings Jones and her Father James Melvin Jones, along with her Brother James Melvin "Jimmy" Jones, on Church Street in the big house that used to be across from the Groveville Elementary School. All that is left of the house is the large Sycamore Tree and the Boxwood Hedge.
.
When we were kids, Carol was just ten years older than me and she would come to our house, next door, get me pinned under my mothers piano and tickle me until I could not stand it anymore, guess that is what older cousins do.

Great picture of the kid with the flag. It is worthy of old Life
Magazine or Norman Rockwell:)
I agree, my daughter, Kati (19) looked at the picture and said "Cousin Carol is the picture of life in a simplier time". She is. Thanks Mack
