Marva, Fern and friends

Marva, Georgan, Fern and Harry?

The above photos are of Marva and Fern during their school years. They were always really good friends and later became sisters-in-law.  I don't know who the other girls are other than Georgan Hurst Burtenshaw. These three were "The Three Musketeers."

The Three Musketeers

L to R: Marva Jones, Fern Laws and Georgan Hurst.  "The Three Musketeers" is what they called themselves!  It fits!

Laws and "outlaws"

Fern sometimes called the "in laws" the "outlaws" for fun.

1930's SJH Basketball Team

I need to check some sources to see what exact year this is, but I believe it's 1936. Fern is holding the ball and Marva Jones (Laws) is to her left.

The Three Musketeers and a Stowaway

This photo is of "The Three Musketeers," namely Georgan Hurst (Burtenshaw), Fern Laws (Palmer) and Marva Jones (Laws). They were best friends and did everything together. I restored this photo which was very damaged. In the process I just couldn't figure out why Fern's left hand looked strange. I finally realized someone is standing behind her! I think it may be Lynn, Fern's husband.
