James and Iva Mae Neighbors 50th anniversary 1956

  

This is REALLY long. If you want to just enjoy the photo taken at my paternal Grandparents 50th anniversary celebration and go on with your life, I will understand.

If, however, you want to take a deep dive into who all these people are and where they are in the photo then brace yourself and keep scrolling.

I almost certainly made mistakes in the individual notes below. If you see errors... let me know and I will correct them.

Jim and Iva Faughn Neighbors Family picture

50th wedding anniversary April 1956

married 4-30-1906

Note: I transcribed this from notes written by my Uncle Bud Neighbours on the back of the photo. I added some info where I could. For example, to save space, Uncle Bud put an initial in the names of the married women to indicate their maiden name … I expanded the names i.e. Iva Mae F. Neighbors becomes Iva Mae Faughn Neighbors and Anita N. Sullivan becomes Anita Neighbors Sullivan. I also assigned a number to each of the 51 individuals in the photo and attempted to explain who they are in the notes at the end of this.
