| The offsprings of Jasper and Josephine R. Harrell Photo Courtesy: Monteral Harrell |
My first cousin Monteral Harrell shared her father's photographs with me to preserve his collection. One of the pictures in his collection was the sons of Jasper and Josephine. The images had March 25, 1968; written on the back of it.
This photograph was taken at their mother's funeral. All of them had on black suits. The only one missing is Uncle Jasper, although it looks like that could be him on the left end.
From left to right; Frank Harrell, Sr., Roosevelt Harrell, Sr., Henry Harrell, Raymond Harrell, Sr. Herbert Harrell, and Oliver Jackson. Uncle Herbert's son Rodney looks so much like his father in his father's younger days. After looking at the photograph over and over, I think that the image on the right end is uncle Jasper.
My grandparents legal adopted their nephew Oliver Jackson after his mother passed away. Jasper and Josephine had seven sons and one adopted son and three daughters. Oliver's mother Ethel was the sister of Josephine.
