The whole clan


This is my favorite photo of my great-grandmother, Lucy (Ceney) McIntyre and three of her children taken in the Hendersonville, Pa., coal patch about 1915 in front of the Hendersonville Coal Co. boarding house that Lucy managed. Even though my great-grandmother was full-blooded English, she loved dressing up in the Scottish tartans of her husband Archibald’s McIntyre clan. The pennant being held shows Buster Brown and Tige playing tug-of-war with a stocking and says, ”Buster Brown’s Guaranteed Hosiery.” Left to right: Florence McIntyre (my grandmother), Mary Stewart McIntyre, Archibald McIntryre and Lucy (Ceney) McIntyre.
