Church records

Thomas Henry Smith and his family were members of Calvary Baptist Church in Washington, DC.  I was able to connect via email with Paul Rosstead who was very helpful in finding and sending me copies of membership cards for several of the family members.  It appears that Mary Ann Tinkler Smith may not have joined the church and perhaps instead chose to retain her membership with the church she attended before her marriage.  Records indicate that she and Thomas were married at the Union Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, DC.  I have not found any contact information for that church as of yet, but will continue to search.

I have been unable to figure out how to insert a pdf here, so I will just list the information from each of the cards instead.

Willard and Ida Haight

Today I will share some photos of Willard, Ida and their family.  This post will be picture heavy!









I love this progression of family group photos!!





And finally, some newspaper articles:






All these images are in Cynda's collection.  Many thanks to her for allowing me to scan them, and then helping me to identify the people in the photos.

If I can figure out how to include PDF files, I will share more newspaper articles I have found online.

Enjoy!

Esther Haight Krause's parents were Willard Reed Haight and Ida May Smith.  They had nine children, the youngest dying in infancy.  Below is a photo taken in 1920.
