Somehow I thought my 200th post would be closer to my 199th post but sadly there has been a huge gap in postings. A lot has happened between then and now. In the coming days I hope to do some tributes or at least post some obituaries but in the meantime I have something I'd like to share with you. While checking something else out entirely unrelated to the Rudes family I found a picture shared on the Harris-Elmore website by Mr. Luther Miller. If you would be so kind as to click here you will see a picture of Carlos & Lillie (Hatch) Rudes and their sons Harry, Merrill, Raymond and Gail.
Source: Harris-Elmore Library's Local History Room website.
Date: Abt. 1916 according to the label.
Where it fits: Carlos Rudes is the father of Ercell, Cecil, Merrill, Gail, Raymond & Dewey. He is the grandfather of Merrill & George Rudes.
