1944 Congregational Church of Austin

Two Versions

 


Church Group about 1944
Maybe the Church's 40th birthday celebration--that would be 1941. Sadly, it was not labeled. Matt Blackstock is front and center. David (1932–2010) and Will Warren are on the left, 2 and 3 in. Joe and Florence Castle are in the first row standing, 6 and 7 in from the left. Update from Matt--4/17/2011--Milton Maxwell, pastor, and either son, Doug (1939–?) or Ross (1941–)--just to the left. of Matt. This is likely Ross Maxwell which would put the picture about 1943, consisten with age of Philip Quirino in the picture. Behind Matt to the right is Melvin Rotsch, Mrs. Robertson is in the black dress, standing just to the left of the tree, Lois Lay is just in front of her seated with a white fur collar--with her brother, Coy Lay. Marian Lay, their mother, is in the back to the left of the tree. Just below and to the left of the church plaque is Roger Williams, head trustee. Elisabeth Ash, (Matt's aunt), is 3rd from the right. and to her left is Mrs. Ernst Walter “Johanna” Wupperman. Eleanor Warren, wife of Will and mother of David, is to the right of the tree in the middle, about 6 to the right, with a black hat at a rakish angle.
