Note from Sandy Bauer:
I have high resolution scans of these photos. I own the original photos and they are quite unusual size. What we would now call panoramic. If you have any Bennett family or have family that married into Bennett family, I would be happy to send you the high resolution photos so you can look for your family members. They are high quality photos so easy to recognize people in them if you know them.
From the 1929 family reunion photo I have cropped just my dad and his two brothers and his first cousin. I can easily identify my dad in all 3 years. I am not sure why he looks so dark in the photo, guess it's the way his head is pointing down. Howard, Noel and Glenn are children of Rosco Vern Whalen and Maude (Butler) Whalen. Byron Vance is son of Philena "Lena" Butler and Barney Vance. He was affectionately known as "Mr. Bluford" and lived in Bluford all his life. Maude and Lena are daughters of Washington Webster Butler and Loucetta Bennett, who lived in Wayne City for years.
