images of Kathleen and family

These are Approximately Chronological

The first image is Kathleen Lucille Byers at about age 2, in 1918. Her mother was Nell Byers (formerly Nell Hill) and her father was Arthur Byers. The picture was probably taken in Augusta, GA.

The second image is Kathleen when she was about 16, about 1932. The third (the small one following that) is of her mother Nell, taken about the same time, probably in Augusta, GA

The fourth image shows Kathleen studying in a science lab. Presumably this would be when she was about 20 in about 1936. It was probably taken in Athens, GA at the University of GA.

The fifth image is Kathleen (now Kathleen Byers Lindsey) holding Patricia Ann (who later went by just Ann), in 1949. This would be in Atlanta.












The sixth image is Kathleen holding Beth (Ann's daughter) in 1979, in Virginia.

The seventh image is Kathleen with William John (aka Jay) her husband in about 1982.














The eighth image is Kathleen with her red convertible. She bought it about 1998 and had it until about 2007.

The ninth image is, from left to right, Ann, Kathleen, John (her son who died in 2008) and Martin (who is writing this). This image is from Kathleen's 90th birthday party in October 2006. She had a much bigger party in October 2004. It was also a retirement party as she left a part time job with the State of GA that month also.

The tenth image is Kathleen at a dinner at the Lenbrook. This would probably be in 2010.

Below are remarks made by Katie Smith in July 2012,

".I have so many wonderful memories of Nellie B and Bath Lake.  It seems like we drove over to see them nearly every Sunday.  Mama told me we spent a summer there the year after Mary Sue was born and she would throw her bottles out of the crib to break on the concrete floor before they could get there to stop her!  What a game!  We also enjoyed the mtns with the "shack" right next door.  One summer after I graduated from college Nellie B took you and me to the Isle of Palms because it rained so much in the mtns we got sick of it!  We stayed at Mrs. Watkins which is still there only it is an office building now.  No air conditioning, and very saggy mattresses of old cotton tufted that were hard to be comfortable on.  She was quite a sport and absolutely adored you.  Didn't mean to get off on such a rant but you really brought back such a flood of happy memories.  Wish I had a picture of John in his pink slacks he wore when he brought your Mama down here to visit Susie for their birthdays.  She was so tickled and just loved it.  Kathleen was always such a lady and looked beautiful always.  As Bob Hope said, "Thanks for the memories""
