Oral R. Reece (Tommy); Geraldine J. Reece
Born in 1889, Oral Raymond Reece was the oldest brother of my grandfather, George Melvin Reece. Nicknames seemed to be popular in the family - Oral was known to everyone as Tommy. He was born in New York, possibly in the Niagara Falls or Buffalo area. He married Della McGahey and had six children. At some point he moved to California and he died in Los Angeles on August 28, 1959.
My Aunt Gerry was 16 when this picture was taken in the back yard of her home on North Avenue in Niagara Falls, NY.

Hi! I'm not sure if you check your comments since your last update was so long ago but it seems that Tommy is my great grandfather! My grandfather was Raymond, Della and Tommy's son. I found your photos doing some research and was startled at how much my son resembles your father at 16.. I always wondered where some of his features came from! My grandfather died when I was 8 so I had no idea how big his family was. :) I'd love to see any other old photos you might have if you don't mind posting them.
