    Uncle Will and Aunt Annie, my Great-grandma Angie, and Aunt Ollie. I think that's Malcolm sitting on the steps. It was probably a 4th of July family celebration, as they did that every summer.

    Four uncles: Ben Moone, Jerry Whitford, Will Whitford, Al Hopkins, 1957

  • Notes 
    • We knew Charles as "Uncle Will."

      The gravestone for Charles & Annie has been photographed. Several pictures of Charles, Annie, their children and descendants are posted at our web site: [www.thesorensens.net].

      I am not sure whether Charles was born in West Greenwich or Coventry.
