Swanson, Alfred and Amanda Lawson - Fountain Photos

Swanson, Alfred and Amanda Lawson (Mandy) -- they were the sweetest couple at the Barker reunions when I was a kid. She was born in Yeddo, Fountain County in 1887 and married in 1909 there but spent most of her life in Fowler/Lafayette area raising her fabulous children -- he loved kids and the first five began with M's meaning he wanted more (Mary; Mable; Mildre; Myrl; Manford) then came Helen for Hold; Estin for Enough and finally the LAST was Lorene.
