Owen and Jackie's Grandmother, Stella Durand Resweber, and Grandfather Oscar Resweber with 4 of their children: Owen, Lloyd, Mildred, and Carlyle

From Duke Resweber: "This photo of Daddy and Uncle Lloyd came out of Mama's family photo album. I assume that Daddy's mother, Stella, gave the picture to Mama; there was no date on it but I estimate it must have been taken in 1914 or 1915 based on the fact that Daddy looks to be about 2 or 3 years old and Lloyd 4 or 5. Daddy was born in 1912 and Lloyd in 1910. How about those outfits! I remember asking Daddy why Uncle Lloyd had long hair and he didn't. He told me he didn't want to look like a girl so he insisted on a "boy's" haircut. I guess he couldn't avoid wearing the frilly clothes."

Owen "Duke" Resweber says: "My mother wrote on the back of this photo that it was taken in July 1945 and my father gave it to her as a birthday present for her 31st birthday, August 9, 1945."
