Our Beginning

Meet Our Ancestors

Every family has a story worth preserving.

This is the story of Paul Silas Furr and Laura Meisenheimer Furr—their lives, their children, and the generations that followed.

As our family contributes photographs, historical records, and genealogy research, this space grows into a lasting archive for those who come after us.

“The love in our family flows strong and deep, leaving us memories to treasure and keep.”
The Children of Paul and Laura

From two roots, many branches.

Together, our great-grandpa Paul and our great-grandmother Laura were blessed with a family whose descendants continue to grow today.

Their children were:

  1. 01

    Archie Furr — born 1905, died 1971; he had no children

  2. 02

    Mary Furr — born 1906, died 1999

  3. 03

    James “Jack” Furr — born 1911, died 1987

  4. 04

    Louise Furr — born 1914, died 2000

  5. 05

    Jessie Furr — born 1915, died 1988

  6. 06

    Julia Furr — born 1915; no additional history is currently known

  7. 07

    Alberta Furr Long — born 1921, died 1998

  8. 08

    Bud — birth and death dates are still being researched

Every one of their children holds a special place in our family’s history.

Some branches have many stories, photographs, and memories that have been passed down through the generations. For others, much of their story has been lost to time.

“Even when only a name remains, that name deserves to be remembered.”
