From bottom of photograph: "Doll and Gen - 6 yrs. old." Note third child on porch. Wells and July McGrady had five children, including this set of twins. "Doll," or Geraldine, was the future wife of Billy Jones. In her memoirs, Geraldine wrote: "When we were 5 years old we moved to Los Gatos where my father had bought one and one-third acres of land with an old house on it. This was a wonderful place to us city children. There were fruit trees of all kinds and grape vines, roses, flowering trees and shrubs. Everything was in bloom because it was June and we picked ripe fruit from the trees. We would all sit under the trees and eat our fill. (In Los Gatos) our recreation consisted of skating at the roller rink one eveing a week and going on a moonlight picnic once in a while. Our neighbor would take us in his spring wagon which was filled with hay and we would go to places 5 or 6 miles away where we would make campfires around which we sat singing songs and telling stories. About 10 o'clock, we would have a wonderful supper spread out on a table cloth on the ground." JON043Collection
