Powell Cousins Kin Through 'Lige Powell

Virginia Powell Smith and her cousin Willis "Skinny" Powell got together and named the Powell cousins in this photo!
Standing back Row L to R
Avis Powell, Leroy Taylor, Fred "Dub" Taylor, Helen Ruth Powell, Richard Powell, Geraldine Powell, Donald Ray England

Elige Powell (their Grandpa) is sitting holding Wayne Powell and Bonnie Anderson, next is Dorothy Powell, Ida Belle Sandlin Powell holding Linda Faye Powell, Nathalie Powell, and Virginia Lee Powell clasping her hands together.

Down in front and almost cut out of the photo are: Darrell Englnad and Willis "Skinny" Powell

Linda Fay Powell was born in May 1942.  Virginia Powell was born in 1938.  From these hints I think this photo was taken in 1943 on the Powell Farm which was a mile and a half from Gans, OK

I bet 'Lige Powell loved the big reunion that day and Ida Belle worked her tail off fixing dinner for the herd!

Virginia said when 'Lige passed in June of 1954 her family (Elmo Powell) came from California. When the burying was over her family returned to California but left Virginia with her Grandmother Ida Belle.  Virginia drove her Grandma all over OK that summer. They visited kinfolk and went everywhere Ida longed to go!
