Remembering some things, (bear with me on this one)

I have been getting a lot of family history and old pictures from my cousin Liz and her husband Ed who live up north of Prescott, AZ.  Part of it has pictures  and other items of interest about our family including Sam and Agnes Rose.

If my thoughts are correct, Agnes Rose was my great-aunt (my grandmother's sister on my Dad's side of the family.  If my thoughts are correct, Pinky (as referred to below) is one of Agnes's daughters.

I remember visiting Sam and Agnes Rose in Globe when I was a pre-teenager.  I think that I remember that Sam worked as an engineer for the railroad.  A few years later I can remember our family going to visit Agnes when she was working for a restaurant at Roosevelt Lake not too far from the Dam.  A lot of the names of  various ranchers that are on some of those documents, I remember my Dad talking or telling stories about, not that I can remember the stories but I do remember the names when I run across them.  Pinky Boas was living on Walliman Road in Globe, I visited her a couple of times after her husband died (I think his name was Henry)   They ran a service station here in Tucson on the corner of Oracle road and River Road for many years. At least that is the way that I remember it. In fact, I seem to remember that when my Dad died in 1990 that a bunch of the family got together at Pinky's home on Walliman road in Globe after the funeral in Young, AZ.  (I will copy this and put it on my BLOG)

            This would have been written two years before I was born by my great-  grandmother on my Dad's side of the family.  per virgil gene baker
