Schavey Family Photos

These photos of some of our Schavey friends later in life were sent to me by a Schavey descendant.

This one shows six of the seven children of Henry and Frances (Springman) Schavey.

Front row, left to right: Clarence Schavey, Mabel Schavey Breyfogle, Henry C. Schavey.
Back row, left to right: Loretta Schavey Van Meter, Frank Schavey, Louis Schavey.
Not shown: Julius Schavey.

The photo is undated. Based on the fashions and apparent ages, I would guess that it was taken sometime in the 1950s. [Update: probably 1951-1957; see Heather's comment below.]

The same goes for this photo: undated, but looking 1950s-ish.

This time of year I am spending all my time and energy outdoors, so I am grateful when people send me material for the blog that doesn't involve me having to do research!

Interesting to see more pictures of the Schaveys. Clarence came back to Indiana at the end of 1950, and Hank died in 1958, so the picture must have been taken between 1951-1957 so that narrows it down a little bit.

If the relative has any more pictures of Clarence and you are willing to post them here, I'd be grateful!
