Uncle Oscar was born a twin.
It is so sad that in so many cases,
only one twin survives.
Orvil died at 3 months.

but only seven living. After one of
their twins died, they adopted
Cora Jones, their last child.
Twins born in Almo were given
the following names:
Oscar and Orvil
John and Judy
Darla and Karla
Eileen and Ernest
Larry Gene and William Dean
Charlene and Clint
Lisa and Risa
Christopher and Cheri
Glen and Guy

I don't think that mom
wanted to cut his hair (circa 1906).
His dad was a rancher
so this was his first whip.
When Oscar married Leona, they
became double relatives to me, since I was
related to both of them.
Oscar lived to age 89 and left
Leona a widow for 19 years.
She died at age 104.

How sad that one of the twins died, but having all these lovely photos is wonderful.
