Alliene and Gavin Etheredge, circa 1908
Here is Alliene Etheredge as a child with her little brother Gavin. She had beautiful browish red curly hair that she passed along to many of her 14 children and 44 grandchildren (22 girls and 22 boys). I remember Uncle Gavin when I was a child. He lost a pinky in a factory work accident as a younger man and told me that the same would happen to me if I continued to suck my thumb. I was four or five years old at the time so needless to say, I don't have the best memories of my great Uncle Gavin. If memory serves, he died in 1981.
