Friends of John and Hattie Apsey Roetman

 

I have found numerous pictures of John and/or Hattie taken with friends over the years.  Many of the friends can also be seen in other pictures throughout this website.

The back of this photo reads… “Susie . Helen Nemer + me taken at the Lake Drive Baptist Church, she came to go to church with me. She came from your house. Think you lived on Carlton Ave then. Look our hats are alike and look at the date this picture was taken. Helen was a friend of your mom and dads. Look we have high shoes on.”

I don’t know who actually wrote on the back of this photo or who ‘Susie’ is. The girl with the fox collar may actually be one of Hattie’s sister.
