This is my mom
« on: May 12, 2011, 11:40:00 AM »
Since, it's a bit slow around here, I thought I'd show one of my favorite photos of my mom Jane and my uncle Dick. Yes, Dick and Jane.  Do you remember the Dick and Jane series? 

They were born and raised in Hood River, Oregon.  It's a beautiful place along the gorgeous gorge with the river on one side and the mountain on the other.  It is known for their fresh fruit and veggies, especially the cherries (my fave), apples and pears.  People come from all over the world to wind surf in Hood River on the Columbia River.

Could we be related?  My great grandmother, Mary Ann Thompson was born in Ballycastle, Ulster Ireland in 1839 and died in Oswego OR in 1868.  she was married to Henry Alfred Bunker and left five children--the oldest my grandmother Annie Elizabeth Bunker Stearns.  No one in my family has been able to locate any more information on her (can you imagine how many Mary Thompsons there are?!) but I am guessing she had a pretty eventful life.

Maybe.........my grandfather Maurice Thompson was born in Rankin, IL and lived in Paducah, KY.  He joined the Navy and was in CA when he jumped ship and ended up in Oregon where he met my grandmother Alice Paull.    My Thompsons also lived in IN and PA. 



I do have cousins with the last name Stearns.

 Paula is the only one I am related to.

Do you know Henry Alfred Bunker's birth date?  Maybe, if we can find him, we can find her.
