From the Fortress of Solitude

Hello Williamsons,
OK, we have a mystery that needs resolving. I found this series of pictures taken by one of my brothers and sisters (I can tell because of the poor, grainy shots) at a family event held in the late 1970's at the Catholic Church in Deadwood, South Dakota. I know my Williamson Aunts, Uncles and Cousins must have the answers so I'm relying on your memory to fill in the event and the names of the people in the photos. The pictures are numbered for reference. Oh, and if you have photos of this same event would you send them to me so I can post them to this post?
All help is appreciated.
Simply,
Victor
Update. Pat and Corlis responded. The mystery event is identified as Walt and Frances' 50th wedding anniversary held in 1979 at St. Ambrose Catholic Church in Deadwood. Walt and Frances were married on July 20, 1929.

The event was Walt & Francis 50th wedding anniversary. They were married July 20, 1929. Picture #12 is Aunt Laura (Emmett's wife)and Woody Williamson. As a side note: Aunt Francis and Charles Ray have the share a June 11 birthday. Corlis
ReplyDeleteMy guess would be it was Walt & Frances' 50th wedding anniversary celebration. I believe I drove my grandmother & parents out to that in the '70's. Lorraine Kupiec
