Pavy Family. [Description of picture by Mary Cox]
Grandpa (John David Pavy)
& Grandma lived
out in the country in Switz. Co. most of their married life. (The pic
does not look like
that house.) Grpa moved into Vevay in later years, so the house is
probably in Vevay...
note the sidewalk If not grpa's house, then most likely the home of
Aunt Betty & Uncle Bill Bennett. Uncle Bill was a butcher in
Vevay at one
time. I know Grpa Absalom Pavy lived with Aunt Betty at one time.
Left to right: Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Pavy, w/o William Bennett;
Evaline (Eva) Pavy, w/o Herman Schiphorst;
Lavine (Viney) Pavy, w/o William (Bill) Higgins;
William Higgins;
Tressie Pavy, w/o Francis Zearing (she later m. A. Wylie Wilson); Tressie Pavy had no children.
Elsie Pavy, w/o Grover Smith and my parents.
Grandpa John David Pavy is holding a baby.
The two taller girls with hair bows are Mable and Kathryn Higgins,
d/o Aunt Lavina.
The boy in the striped suit is my brother Paul Lee Smith,
born November, 1915.
Thus, we can date the picture at about 1919. The
other children I cannot identify.
