Kennard Photo Gallery - Later Generations

Many thanks to Karen McCullough Kidd from Alcoa, TN for sharing the picture of Adeline Sylvenia Kennard with us. The other photos on this page, unless noted otherwise, were given to me by my father, Wm. C. Rivers, Sr. before his passing in 1995.

Judy Glanville, dau. of Lorelle Parrott Weidlein identifies this photo for us. She states, "The picture of Adaline Sylvania Kennard Hooper (my maternal Great-Grandmother) was taken in Bethlehem, MD on her 91st Birthday. She lived with her daughter, Mabel Louisa Hooper Parrott (my Grandmother) in the last year of her life."
Adeline Sylvenia Kennard Hooper (5 Jun 1845 - 21 Mar 1937) Sister of Baltis H. Kennard, GG Grandmother of Karen Kidd.	Mary Belle Drach Kennard (23 Nov 1858 - 17 Dec 1927) Wife of Wm. D. Kennard, son of Baltis H. Kennard, Great Grandmother of BJ Peters.

Above you see a series of three pictures. The photo at left is a scan of the metal picture untouched. As I coaxed the image from the background, you can see the individual more clearly. In reference to the photo above at right, Shirley Ann Cox stated, "Mom looked at that and said she thinks that it is her grandmother, Mary Belle Drach Kennard." As stated elsewhere on the page, Ruth's mother is Ruth Elizabeth Dahlgreen Myers. It's easy to see that this woman and Mary Belle in the picture above have squared chin lines.

The Kennard sisters, daughters of Wm. D. and Mary Belle Kennard. From left to right: Geneva (Neva) Kennard Dahlgreen, Beatrice (Beat) Kennard, Anna Belle (Anna) Kennard Rivers and Almyra Grace (Nell) Kennard Rial. Ruth Elizabeth Dahlgreen Myers identified the children as being (left to right) Ruth Elizabeth Dahlgreen, Annabelle Rivers, and Mary Geneva Dahlgreen.

The subjects of the photo at left are Geneva "Neva" Dahlgreen and her son, John Christian Dahlgreen, Jr. According to Shirley Ann Myers Cox of Westminster, Md., "My mother says that the picture was taken in Silver Creek, New York where she and my grandfather had gone up to visit his mother who was sick. Shirley's mother is Ruth Elizabeth Myers nee Dahlgreen, daughter of Geneva Dahlgreen nee Kennard and John Christian Dahlgreen, Sr.

Shirley Cox, mentioned above said, "My mother felt that these may be Aunt Nell's [Grace Almyra Kennard Rial's] three sons, Lenny, Charlie and Xavier".

Some of Wm. D. and Mary Belle Kennard's children: from left is John Lamotte Kennard, Nell Kennard Rial with infant on lap, Neva Kennard Dahlgreen in rear center, and Anna Kennard Rivers with a young William on her lap. My father, Wm. C. Rivers told me he was about 2 yrs. old in this picture, putting the date of the photo abt. 1924.

Sitting with her husband Bernard Rial is Almyra Grace "Nell" Kennard. Bernard holds his hat out to his side. Shirley Cox said her mother Ruth believes the two women sitting on the ground are (L) Beatrice Kennard and (R) her Aunt Ella Kennard, Wiliam Kennard's sister. Provided by Darcy Rial Yates		This photo of John Lamotte Kennard was taken in the 1940's or 50's I believe. In the full sized picture from which this is taken, John stands beside an Army truck.
This photo was provided by Rial descendant, Mike Schmitz. Are any of these individuals Kennards?
	In the photo at left you see Anna Belle Kennard Rivers and her sister Marie Lauver Widerman. Both ladies had a sweet spirit. They are seen with children of Audrey and Bill Rivers. Time of photo is about 1956-7.
