MYSTERY MAN WITH THREE SISTERS Bernard Pyron

 Mystery Man With Three Sisters



This is one of many photos from the Photo Collection of Aunt Ida that Derek Hilton Penny sent to me.  I am not sure of who any of these four people are.  

But my interest is in the possibility that the three sisters are the daughters of A.M. Pyron, 1846-1932 and Virginia Blackburn Pyron, 1856-1943 - and that the young man with them is a Flewellin, either the son of my great aunt Eugenia Harriet Pyron Flewellin, or the Flewellin grandson of Eugenia H. Pyron Flewellin.

The young woman on the right looks like she might be Aunt Clara, the youngest of the four Pyron sisters alive in the twenties and thirties.  If she is Aunt Clara, then there is the possibility that the man is Melvin Johnson, who was or became her husband.

I remember when Melvin Johnson plowed the ten acres just south of our place in the late thirties and early forties, with horses, since he did not have a tractor at that time.  I also remember that Melvin Johnson was at the Christmas Celebrations that the entire Pyron family held when grandmother was alive at the home of Clara and Melvin Johnson..  After grandmother died in 1943 the family stopped having Christmas celebrations together.

The photo here from he Ida Oliver collection is of my father Blakc Pyron, 1889-1964, with a Flewellin, who may be a son or grandson of Eugenia Pyron Flewellin.


A Flewellin on horseback, maybe Daddy's horse,  from the Ida Oliver Collection I think taken when he was in his twenties, or from about 1910 to 1918.
