  2. PS- I think that in the second photo it should be Audrey & then Phyliss. I'm pretty sure the it my grandmother on the end. :)

  3. I changed the caption. I could not tell who was who. If you cannot download the pictures from the blog, email me at billywardle@sbcglobal.net and I will send you the files. If Aunt Phyllis is your grandma, who is our mommy. Billy

  4. Thank you for putting together this blog. It's wonderful. I've been enjoying reading your posts and looking at all these pictures, as have my kids. I was telling them the story of the Martin handcart company tonight and they enjoyed looking at the pictures of Mary Ann Ashton and Issac Wardle as part of the story.

    I am also Phyliss' granddaughter (and Melissa's cousin). My mom is Phyliss' daughter Denise. Melissa's mom is Joanne.
