Road Trip #Whatever, I've Lost Count

Those enthusiastic road-trippers, Charles and Constance Chester, hit the road again in the autumn of 1923.

Sela Chester was one of Charles and Constance's children; he was about 24 years old.

Raymond and Maud McClain, Constance's brother and sister-in-law nephew and his wife, had traveled with the Chesters on a 1,000-mile road trip in 1919.

Mamie Hull was the teenaged sister of Charles and Constance's son-in-law, Homer.

Thanks for posting as this is a new article to me. They were indeed intrepid travelers, I can only imagine what it would have been like to travel with them! Sounds like Charles had a lead foot! Raymond V. McClain was married to Maude Rossman and would have been about 37 at the time of their adventure. He was Constance's nephew, however, son of her brother Thomas H. McClain. He was a clerk at a bank in Chicago and sadly died in October of 1925 of "heart disease". There are photos him on his profile in my Ancestry tree, a handsome fellow.
Regards, Suzi
