Alice Lee (Legg) Kincaid July 29, 1931 - June 13, 2012


My mother passed away in the early hours of June 13, 2012. I have been meaning on posting something about her, but it is very hard to put anything in writing. For me it has been difficult to come to the realization that your parents have passed on. I really like this photo of her that I found and thought you might also.

Stuff you find...

I have been going through Ronnie's research and pictures a little at a time and has really been an arduous task. It has really been a lot of work and it seems like I’m getting nowhere fast. Now I’m not trying to gain any sympathy, every now and then I run across something that gives me a little chuckle like this photo and makes it worthwhile.



This photo is classic. The photo has "Cole Girls" written on the back. Other than that I really know nothing. I assume it is from Mt. Lookout, but that's only a guess. These ladies look liked they just stepped out of the saloon to me. I hope I'm not insulting anyone.

If you have any information regarding this photo, please let me know.

Community WW I Veterans

I thought I would post this photo of the WW I veterans from Mt. Lookout. Seems the least I can do for old War Heroes. From what little information I can find I believe this photo is from 1917. The tall guy third from the left in the back is my grandfather, George Wesley Kincaid.
