For this week’s photo I wanted something of a Fourth of July theme and this picture fits the bill. I’ve was told recently that the Walvoord Family in Nebraska gathered every year for a big reunion every Independence Day. I have also been told that their Walvoord counterparts in Wisconsin did the same.
This wonderful picture is of the Walvoords in Wisconsin. These are children of Henry and Henrietta Walvoord. The person sitting in the middle with the white hat is my great-grandfather John Garrett Walvoord . The little boy on the back corner in the hat holding the American Flag is my grandfather Randall Henry Walvoord.
I date this photo around 1912.

Happy 4th of July Walvoord family! Thanks Scott for this wonderful photo. 100 years later we still have a reason to celebrate! Looking forward to the next weekly photo.
Happy 4th to you Cindy! I didn’t even realize that it was 100 years ago today. Wild!
