Rankin Family History

This is a photo of my Dad, Robert “Bob” Rankin that was taken somewhere around 1947-48 …

He rode this motorcycle up the fire escape slide at the old Tivy High School – which is now Peterson Middle School.

Seemed like a good plan until he had to come down backwards and it didn’t end well.

My Grandpa picked gravel out of his elbows with a pair of needle nose pliers …

from left to right in the photo –

My Grandfather JB Rankin, Aunt Alyne (Rankin) Harvill, Grandmother (Mama Pearl), Robert “Bob” Rankin, Uncle Stanley Rankin and Aunt, Betty Jean (Rankin) Tracy

Buster and Vera …

This was my Uncle Buster (Loss Rankin) and my Aunt Vera (married to Duney Rankin).

I believe this was a rare photo of Aunt Vera in a dress as the whole time I knew her I never saw her in anything but boots, khaki pants and a man’s work shirt.

Vera and Duney ran sheep and goats around Rocksprings and Leakey, Texas.

In their later years they remodeled old houses around the Kerrville, Texas area.
