Cousin Myrtle Smith Visit

A few months ago I found out that my dad had a 97 year old cousin, Myrtle Smith still alive in Nyssa Oregon. She is the daughter of my great aunt Ada Louisa Noyes Ostberg.

So John, Jane and I took a road trip Thursday (up and back in one day) and visited her. These are some of the treasures that we got from her.

My grandfather John Hyrum (Henry) Noyes is the tall man on the center back.

His parents are Hannah Mariah Williams Noyes and Frederick Franklin Noyes.

Ada, Diantha and Gustavus are not in this picture. But all the younger siblings are.

Now that we know who the photographer was we may be able to find the original plates.

These where taken by an Emil Rosenvall from Gunnison Utah right around 1900.

This is Myrtle and her son Bill, daughter Sharon and my sister Jane and brother John.

Talking to her was just like talking to any of my dad's sisters. She definantly was a NOYES.
