Uncle Mode Costner and some of his family
This is Bonnie McMullan's picture of her grandmother's brother and some of his children. This is much clearer than the copy my mother (Mode's niece) had.
(Kevin Costner's great grandfather, the generations go so fast.)
This must have been taken in Guymon OT or Guymon OK--around the time of statehood.

Some unidentified Costners and Bells
Uncle Mode (Moses Amariah Costner) and Aunt Maude and some of their children are in the lower left but the other pictures are of unidentified Costners and Bells. Does anyone recognize any of them? (The picture is from James Head, a Costner and a Bell like me and our new cousin Bonnie.)

Moses Amariah Costner and Maude Langston Costner and some of their children
I am re-posting this because it is from a much sharper print owned by Bonnie McMullan, whose grandmother was Uncle Mode's sister Ida Costner (as my grandfather was Uncle Mode's brother Edgar Lugene Costner). James Keith Head, himself a Costner and a Bell, just discovered Bonnie's web site. I am delighted at meeting this double second cousin--double since Bonnie's grandmother Emma Bell was my grandmother Costner's sister. We kept things in the family very well in Scotland and in the South. Does anyone have a consanguinity chart so we can see just how close kin are these double second cousins with bonus points for old marriages of first cousins? James, thank you for finding Bonnie!
