Stephen Benane Family 

Pictured right to left 
Hazel Catherine 1901- 1989
Stephen A. Benane 1873 - 12/29/1915
George NMN 3/10/1908 - 10/02/1989
Martha Venelia McElwain Benane 4/15/1878 - 2/20/1965
Marion Barbara 3/23/1903 - 9/8/1979

John's grandfather died when George was just seven years old.
John's grandmother who was known as "Mattie" never remarried.  She raised her children by working as a cook at the resorts in Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.  

When I look at this picture of John's Dad, I can see where  many of his children got their beautiful eyes.
