Family Picture Friday: Robert T. Riley

Bob was the youngest child of Ezra Riley. Bertha Rhomer was his mother, Ezra's second wife.  He was born in Akron on 26 Jun 1937.  I love this picture of Bob and his grandparents, Tom and Lizzie Riley.  There aren't many pictures of them with any of their grandchildren.  This is such a great picture, well composed.  Love the tie and the pipe in Tom's mouth.  Love the angle of the baby's hat.

Bob died 18 Jan 2003 in Nashville, TN. He and his wife, Nancy Lorenzi, had no children.

Following My Own Advice on Labeling Photos

This was a picture in the envelope Theda Hill sent me.  It was taken at the funeral of Elizabeth (Lizzie) Maybury Riley in September of 1946.  I had Ray identify everyone for me but I tried to figure out the best way to record the info.  I used Photoshop (filters>stylize>find edges) to outline and then painted the faces white, typed numbers on the faces.

There has to be a quicker way.  I messed with picture way too long.  It does make an easy to read guide to the picture though.  I should add to the outline the date and occasion information to make sure the record is complete.  I can place these two pictures on one page for you so you can print at home. Leave me a comment and I'll email you the file.
