JOLLEY, Belford Ansel Family
Belford Ansel JOLLEY
(with Iva LaClare GOFF, Ross Belford and Carl Edgar)
Hi Karen, Here are a couple more pictures of my Jolley ancestors. The first is of my Great Grandfather, Belford Ansel Jolley (1881-1959), and his first wife, Iva LaClare Goff (1884-1913) and their two sons, Ross Belford (1906-1946) and Carl Edgar (1907-1983), who is my Grandfather. My Grandfather is the youngster in the dress, which seemed to be the fashionable thing to do to boys in olden times. The second picture is of my Grand Uncle Ross wearing the same dress at about the same age. Not sure why parents thought boys wearing dresses was the thing to do when having their pictures taken, but I’m glad that tradition passed by the time I came along. Dan
