Dear Family,Time to learn a little about your cousins Bradley and Scott Innes. To help you follow the lineage, it starts with Grandfather Elmer and Grandmother Madalena, their daughter Minnie Innes, grandson George Innes and great-grandchildren Bradley and Scott Innes.
Minnie 1914
This picture of Minnie Innes was taken in front of their home in Strong City, Oklahoma in 1914. Granddad must have kept busy raising cattle in order to keep his four daughters in such pretty dresses.
3 Guernsey Girls
One of my all time favorites is the picture of three Guernsey girls swimming in the river. The Washita River ran along the north portion of granddad’s ranch near Strong City. In 1903 there was no local community swimming pool and evidently no children’s store that carried swim suits. Bill Caffey furnished me this picture and he identified the three girls as Pauline in the water, Alida on the left and Minnie on the right.
BRADLEY A. INNES
(George, Minnie, Elmer) lives in Springfield Mo. Brad is a Senior Computer Design Engineer for Loren Cook Co. They manufacture all types of exhaust fans as you see in restaurants and fans costing up to 1M for large buildings. His wife Madelynn is a Photojournalist and has a new public relations position with the large St. Johns Mercy Hospital. She recently covered a visit from Brad Pitt, Angelina and family. Brad Pitt is a Springfield, MO native and a major donor to the Children’s Wing of the hospital. A picture Madelyn took of their visit was used on the People Magazine nightly web edition.
SCOTT F. INNES
(George, Minnie, Elmer) also lives in Springfield, Mo. Scott is a line operator at Kraft Foods Premier Company plant. His former wife Deborah has her own child day care business in Springfield where all the family reside. They have two children Jack and Jane. Jack is pursuing his college education locally. Jane is soon to enter Kickapoo High School, named for the American Indian Tribe notable to the area.
George Innes wife and Scott and Bradley’s mother, Barbara Ferguson Innes is deceased, 7/19/2006.
