Two photos of Ella Blanche Clements Luckert, Uncle Rich's first wife, with their son, Alton (b.12 February 1923 and hence named Alton Lincoln).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aunt Ella died when Alton was two, as her tombstone, in an earlier entry, gives her dates as 1902-1925.  She is buried immediately east of Grandpa and Grandma Luckert, along with Aunt Betty Luckert Vanness and Aunt Betty's third child, Barbara Luree, who drowned when she was nine.  Their tombstones are also in the earlier Bloomfield Cemetery set, but this is the grouping.

Rich then married Sylvia, who became Alton's step mother and had Phyllis (b. 13 January 1928) and Stanley (b. 13 May 1931).  This photo is "Alton & Charley," but I don't know who Charley is.

Here's a fine children's photo, "Phyllis & Alton Luckert."

And a tiny one with Alton behind Stan and Phyllis.

Here are the three with their half brother by Billie, L-R, Alton, Stan, Phyllis, and Rel (Richard Earl, who apparently goes by Dick, but I always knew him as the acronym of his initials).  It's at the family reunion in front of our house in Center.
