This is technically not a photo album, however, there are over 75 photos in the book, so I decided this would be the best place for it. I will post photos of each of the pages of the book, in the order they appear in the book. At the end of the book I have enlarged the photos so they will be displayed individually. I am experimenting with a new app that enhances photos by sharpening them, and at times filling in missing details. Sometimes it works very well, and other times not as well, but on the whole, I think the app is a great benefit in providing a better picture.
I also have a diary that belonged to Ella (Luther) (Bowes) Mounce that dates from about 1988 to 1995. It is the type of diary that has five years on one page.
I also have correspondence sent/received by George R. Mounce. I will be posting these at a later date.

Research: George Ralph Mounce b. June 3, 1916. His parents were Ralph B. Mounce and E. Elgey Bowes. There is a page with presents for the baby, and for Mildred Forbes, it says “baby book” (Photo #11). Haven’t made a connection of Mildred Forbes to the Bowes/Mounce family yet.
There are articles on the Mounce family on line that are very interesting to read!
