Bales Geneology

Bales Photo History

The following three pages have a number of photos from the Bales side of the family dating from the 1800's through the 1920's.

Louisa Conner Davis

This is my Great-Grandmother Louisa Davis. The original of this image is a tin-type that was taped into a paper sleeve upon which is written "Mother" on the front. On the back, in my Father's handwriting it says:
Grandma Davis
(Louisa Conner)
16 yrs old

This is the Grandma Davis that my Father (JD Bales) went to live with after his parents (BF and Ethel Bales) were killed in January 1927. See Early Family Recollections in the Family History section.

I can estimate that this photo dates from sometime in the 1870's.

Ethel Davis Bales

Ethel Davis Bales Age 16 (9892 bytes) Just as the picture above is of a young lady of 16, this photo is of her daughter also at the age of 16. This is my Grandmother, Ethel Davis. This would make the date of this photo sometime in 1902 (She was born 2/28/1886).

Benjamin and Ethel Bales

We actually have quite a few photos of Benjamin and Ethel Bales. Here are a few (on this and the following pages. I like this first one because of the smiling faces...
