Meet Grace and Frank Jones

Meet Grace and Frank!  This is a photo of Grace and her second husband Frank Jones.   Grace was one of four sisters to Walter Tivis Beck and she wrote the "Treatise on William H Beck" which is in your family history packet.  

This picture of Grace and Frank is a cutaway from a wedding photo of our cousin Arlene Buffington.  Arlene who just turned 93, has been a treasure in that we've found a branch of our family that was lost through the years, and she has kindly shared some of her precious family photos and history with us.  The photos she has shared are truly precious to us because had we not found her...we never would have laid eyes on these relatives.

Arlene let me record her memories, and I can't wait to organize and edit them for all of us to enjoy.    She is truly a sweet woman and I am proud to say that she and I have become good friends.
