The children of Carl and Rosalia Hon in mostly identified photographs

After Aunty Frances, Grandma and Grandpa Hon had a large family. This apparently stopped them from identifying and dating all the other children's photos. Therefore I'm unable to do a page and say these are all baby pictures of Uncle Ed. So here are some loose photographs from Grandma's album, most of which my Mom  identified if she could:

Here is a photo of someone in a snowsuit with a sled. Adorable, but the kid is looking down so if you know who it is, please let me know. Could it be Uncle Ed?



Here's a cute summer photo of siblings [my Uncle] Paul and [my Mom] Rosalia Hon holding stuff, homemade art?, on a blanket in the backyard, about 1929. I am the spitting image of my Mom.


Siblings Carl and Rosalia Hon bundled up in coats, hats and scarves about 1928, in Minnesota, so it could be July....ha non-Minnesotan humor.


Mom labeled this one Dad [meaning her Dad], [and siblings baby] Carl and Rosalia, about 1926.



Here's a photo from about 1936. This is known as the infamous knickers photo. Mom said they had returned from church and Uncle Carl hated his knickers and had ripped them off as soon as he got home, but Grandma and Grandpa made him put them back on for the photo. You can clearly see he is extremely unhappy about the situation.
Someone, I think Grandma Hon, identified everyone on the back and wrote the note as follows:
Edward [seated] 17 years, holding Phyllis 2 1/2 years.
Standing (right to left): Rosalia 12, Paul 15, Carl 10.
They are all in H. School except Carl and the baby of course.



Here's a photo of Grandpa Hon and the kids all lined up. Aunty Frances, Uncle Ed, Uncle Paul, my Mom[Rosalia] and Uncle Carl, probably about 1930.




More photos [mostly unidentified] from Grandma's photograph album next weekend. Tune in and maybe next week you can help identify someone you love.
