Marian McClure (1909-1983) passed through McClure, Ohio,
in the 1930s. She was newly married to Edgar Wood (1903-1986).Many years later, her son and I drove through. He remembered the photo of his mom and we snapped our own version.
Hubby's Wood family lived in Toledo, and his McClure family lived in Cleveland, so the route was familiar to folks on both sides of the family tree. We followed the route last year, while doing genealogy research, and stumbled on the McClure sign by accident. Watch for it when you're outside Toledo some time.
Great to see mother and son, each with their own version of the same picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Colleen! Everyone in the family got a smile out of this. Maybe the next generation will take a photo too...who knows what the roadside sign will look like then--holographic maybe LOL
DeleteI grew up two or three houses east of that sign. :)
