This is the third in a series on the pages of Dad’s photo album dedicated to each of his siblings. Today’s page is the one dedicated to his brother Edwin (“Uncle Ed” to us).

This is a view of the entire photo album page dedicated to him. I believe Dad took these photos.

The first photo shows Uncle Ed standing on the porch of his parents’ house in Jefferson in 1928. He was born in 1908, so he would have been about 20 in this photo.

The second photo shows Uncle Ed in his 1929 Chevrolet Coupe. Dad mentions that he and Ed drove to California in the fall of 1929 in this car. Possibly this photo was taken on that trip.

A close reading of the one paragraph Dad wrote later about the time he and his siblings spent working in California seems to suggest that Irvine, Ann and Earl were already there, and that he and Ed were going down to join them. Irvine was working for Standard Oil and Earl was working for Hills Brothers Coffee. When Dad and Ed joined them there, they got jobs building a pipeline, also for Standard Oil.
