Notes: Oscar Conley and Agnes Allen were my grandparents and both died when I was young. I barely remember my grandmother. I remember that she lost a leg to diabetes and can still see her face in my memories but I don't remember much else. Most of the things that I know about her I've learned through stories that I've been told. I know that she must've been a very strong woman to have 15 children - 13 that made it to adulthood.

I have more memories of my grandfather. He lived in a trailer behind my parents' house after my grandmother died, so I was lucky enough to get to see quite a bit of him. The year before he died he started a tradition of having a family reunion every year so that he could get all 13 of his surviving children together at the same time. This tradition continues to this day. For several years the family reunion was held at different places around California but it finally settled in at Three Rivers, California, which is right at the entrance to Sequoia National Park in the Sierra Nevada mountains in Central California. It's held on the weekend before Memorial Day each year and usually more than a hundred people show up. There's a golf tournament, horseshoe tournament, plenty of swimming and a lot of different things for the kids to do. In the evening there is a potluck-style dinner that's followed by home-made ice cream and then there's a raffle of all kinds of arts and crafts projects that family members make and donate. The money from the raffle goes towards items that are needed for the next year's reunion and it also goes towards graveside flowers and for emergency funds.

I have two great essays on this site that tell of life growing up in the family of Oscar Conley and Agnes Allen. They were written by two of their children and make for great reading. One is called In Memory and was written by my Aunt Doris. The other is called My Recollections and was written by my Uncle Dick.

Notes: From Joe Boyles Jr., "My grandfather was Nelson M. Boyles, born 1891, and my grandma was Thelma I. Stratton, born 1892. They met and were married in Cushing, Oklahoma. Grandma's dad was the blacksmith in Cushing and Grandpa's dad was the chief of police. The story is, the chief of police, being on a higher social level than the blacksmith, didn't want his son to marry the blacksmith's daughter. Also my grandfather was a bit on the wild side in his younger days so his father sent him to stay and work with an uncle in California to cool off. My grandfather returned to Cushing after being in California for about a year and married my grandmother."
