Robert Steffen Gill with Helen and Elizabeth Castonguay
Bob Gill's Uncle Walter Kemp on Ship to Cuba where he worked managing a Sugar Plantation. As Bob's father had passed away and his mother was in a hospital Bob was raised by his sisters Bea and Hazel and their husbands and his Uncle Will and his wife. A lot of his time was spent with Bea and Walter. During a part of his life he also lived in an orphanage.
Bob(dark shirt in between two little ones) with mother Mary Jane Easton Gill (b. 7 Sept 1874 Collin, Gorthorwald D, Scotland d. 18 July 1943 Wauwatosa, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) right behind him in the white dress. The person to the left (looking at the picture) of Bobby is his older sister Hazel Louise Gill Jenske (b 21 April 1898 Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) with, I'm thinking, her little boy also named Bob (Robert Francis Jenske b. 11 July 1922 - died of polio in Hawaii during WW II). The person to the right with the curly haired little one is his older sister Beatrice Matilda Gill Kemp (b 3 April 1893 Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I don't know who the child is, nor anyone else in the picture.
Bob in Florida or Cuba!!
