Remembering Helen Jean & John Parham on their birthday

Today is my mother's and her twin brother's birthday.

A few years ago I found their birth announcement in a 1925 Brookhaven newspaper
at the Mississippi Archives in Jackson.

Here are some early photos of them dressed up for a Brookhaven Ladies Club party.
Mom said they were portraying George and Martha Washington.
Not sure the costuming is very accurate - John's hat looks more like Lincoln than Washington.





I think they were about three or four years old.
This year they would have been 97.

Miss singing "Happy Birthday" to them.

Family resemblances can be seen in photos of brothers and cousins and grandchildren at the same age.

Love the memories.
