Delbert & Jakey Go Fishing

Jakey Jilbert, my Grandfather Delbert's cousin,
fishing at Bay Point in 1934.
Jakey was the only son of Delbert's aunt Nellie,
who was his mother Nora's youngest sister.
At the time, Jakey live in Tracey with his mother, Nellie.

My grandmother, Irma, was the one taking the photos.
They are from her photo album and the notes on them are her handwriting.
In 1934, she and my grandfather were still dating.

Delbert Marion Saunders and Family

 This is my grandfather, Delbert "Bud" Marion Saunders (on the right),
with his Aunt Nellie (Baker) Jilbert, and cousin Jake (Jakey) Jilbert.

The photo is from an album of my grandmother's, Irma (D'Angeli) Saunders. The photo is dated Aug 5, 1934 and was likely taken at Nellie's home in Tracey, CA. Bud and Irma were married in 1936, so they were dating at the time this photo was taken. I imagine this may have been the first time my grandmother met Nellie and Jakey, which is why she may have saved the photos in her album.

My grandmother, Irma (D'Angeli) Saunders
and my grandfather, Delbert "Bud" Marion Saunders.
My grandmother was 21 years old at the time.
My grandfather was 23.
