My great-grandmother is bottom middle. From the top L to R is Addie, Euhla and Lee. Seated on the left of Harriet is Mary and on the right is Dora. Mary and Dora were the lookers. I wouldn't want to arm wrestle Addie or Euhla and for that matter Harriet either. Aunt Lee was kicked by a horse when she was a young girl and never was quite the same. When the boys, my dad and his four brothers, mother died they were all very young. Oscar brought aunt Lee to take care of them. My dad said she was so sweet, but they took advantage of her even though they love her dearly. I met Aunt Euhla and aunt Lee when I was about 8 at a reunion. My dad introduced me to them. They wanted to hug and kiss me but aunt Lee was dipping snuff and I wanted no part of it. On the way home to Fort Worth my dad ask me why I didn't want to kiss aunt Lee. I told him that stuff running down her face stopped me. I never will forget what he told me next. "Son you know how you tell a level headed woman in Texas?" I said "no". He said "If the snuff is running down both sides of their mouth about equal. You are looking at a level headed woman!"

My Grandmother dipped 4 dot Levi Garrett.....always smelled that stuff and had the full spit can nearby when in her house. Another Great photo Range Rider. God Bless them for taking care of your Aunt Lee.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
I see you posting old pictures here all the time and I know you put in a lot of time to find them, all are interesting. To see that you have been fortunate enough to find some that are actually of your own family makes me happy for you. Congratulations!

It's easier to fool people than it is to convince them they have been fooled.
The baky running down both sides must be the measuring stick in Kentucky and Illinois too. My great grandmother chewed all her life and the ever present can was always there to walk around.
I remember the 4 dots on the bottom of the jar well. It had nothing to do with the snuff, it was just which mold the jar came from. My Mothers mother dipped it with what she called a toothbrush. It was a twig mad from either a gum tree of some sort or something else I can't recall. My Grandfather had a store at one time and I remember people coming in and asking for a jar with 4 "notches or dots" on it and sometimes refusing to buy if there were only 3 or less.
