THE
FAMILY OF EDGAR H. "ED" DYER & IDA MAY SEAMONS:
Thanks to
Penny & Jim Dyer for the photos of Herman Dyer and his family. Also thanks
to Tom Bruce for the photos of the children of Lee O. Dyer.
| Edgar & Ida Dyer | Edgar H. Dyer and Ida May Seamans were married about 1898, probably in Missouri. They had 4 sons: Lee, Roy, Herman & Samuel. | |
| Herman Dyer | Third son of Edgar & Ida. Herman was born on December 6, 1904, so guessing about 1905 | |
| Lee, Roy & Herman Dyer | I'm guessing the photo was taken about 1906, which would make Lee age 8, Roy age 5 and Herman age 2. I'm not sure where it was taken - the family is on the 1900 census of Mt. Vernon, Lawrence Co., MO, but in 1907 Lee is listed at age 8 on the school census of Canon City, Fremont Co., CO. | |
| Ida Dyer & Sons Lee, Roy, Herman & Samuel | Samuel was born about 1910, so photo was taken about 1911. The family is had returned to MO and were listed on the 1910 census of Mt. Vernon, Lawrence Co., MO, but by 1920 they were back in Colorado and were listed on the 1920 census of Canon City, Fremont Co., CO. They were in Lawrence Co., MO in 1923, but were in Tucson, Pima Co., AZ in 1930 & 1933. Boys oldest to youngest are Lee, Roy, Herman & Samuel. | |
| Edgar & Ida Dyer | Maybe taken about 1930 in Tucson, AZ?? | |
| Edgar Dyer | Same day as above photo. | |
| Mary Frances Dyer graduation | Mary Frances Dyer was the daughter of Lee O. Dyer, and granddaughter of Edgar & Ida. Graduation was probably about 1939 or 1940 in Canon City, Fremont Co., CO. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she and her siblings were raised by their mother. | |
| Leo Edward "Buddy" Dyer, graduation | Leo Edward "Buddy" Dyer, graduation 1941 from Holy Cross Abbey in Canon City, CO. Leo entered the Navy soon after graduation, and became one of the first "frogmen" in the South Pacific in WWII. Buddy was the son of Lee O. Dyer & Agnes Bruse/Bruce, and grandson of Edgar & Ida Dyer. | |
| Ed, Ida, & grandson James Dyer | James was the son of Herman Dyer, and grandson of Edgar & Ida Dyer. James was born in 1940 and Edgar died about 1943, so maybe photo was taken about 1942? | |
| 4 Generation Helene Dyer Leonard | Helene was the daughter of Lee O. Dyer & Agnes Bruse. She was grandaughter of Edgar H. Dyer. Photo is of Helene, her son Jimmie & possibly also her son Michael, her mother Agnes, and her maternal grandmother Caroline Bruse. Taken 1945. | |
| Leo Edward "Buddy" Dyer | Leo was the son of Lee O. Dyer, and grandson of Edgar & Ida Dyer. Photo taken in 1960 in Norristown, PA. | |
| Herman, Daisy, James & James Dyer Jr. | 3 generation photo for James Jr. Herman was the son of Edgar & Ida Dyer. Photo taken in 1965 in Yuma, AZ. | |
| Herman & Daisy Dyer | Herman & Daisy Dyer, taken in the early 1970's (Herman died in 1973). Herman is the son of Edgar & Ida Dyer. | |
| Leo & Belle Dyer with children | Leo "Buddy" Dyer with wife Belle, one of his daughters (Patricia or Kathleen) and his son Edward. Guessing by clothes that it was taken late 1960's or early 1970's. Leo was the son of Lee O. Dyer, and grandson of Edgar & Ida Dyer. |
