UPDATE 20 august 2018
There's something to say about looking at a photograph and saying "I came from there." In our case, it was here. This family photo records more than the original Maxcey family, it records the origin of us all.
Priddy, Texas
Circa 1952

Update 20 August 2018
The first of our family mysteries has been solved! Thanks to Kay Nettleship, the above suspects have been identified! Marvin Landon has ID'd the car as a Hudson (to no one's surprise) and Kay has given additional information. My grandfather not only owned a Hudson, but owned part of a dealership around 1952 which would more than likely meant a good deal on the family roadster. The second photo is posted above. These photographs were found among my grandmother's effects when she passed away and are now in my Uncle Jim's possession.
