The picture on the left is of John
Eliphas & Clara Daniel Preston and their family. Clara & John
are each holding one of the twins, Claude (my grandfather) and
Lloyd. Their daughter Gypsie is standing in the middle.
Note that there are two pictures on the bottom. These small
pictures were added at a later time and they are of their daughter
Dixie on the left and son Clyde on the right.
The picture on the left is of their daughter Dixie.
This beautiful little girl died only a few weeks after this portrait
was done. She was only 2 1/2 years old. Her cause of
death was probably meningitis. She has become the image I use
for my www.Libby-Genealogy.Com
logo. After you click on the thumbnail,
you may be able to see that she is holding a picture on her lap,
wearing a delicate bracelet and has on a baby ring. |
John & Clara in later years.
He was known as "Frosty John" because he was totally white headed by
the age of 30. Below is a picture of them on their 50th anniversary. |

The picture above is of Claude and Lloyd when they
were about 5 years old. The one on the right was taken at a
fair when they were in their early twenties. They were sons of John
Eliphas & Clara Daniel Preston. The two below are them in 1965. They still
looked remarkably alike for adult twins. My grandfather Claude
is below and his brother Lloyd is on the left.
