Veno & DeCoste Cousins

~  In memory of the children of Benjamin F Veno & Eliza J DeCoste  ~

Eliza J. DeCoste and Benjamin F. Veno were married on September 25, 1895.  As far as I know, this is the only Wedding Invitation that still exists!  (Special Thanks to Bonnie Veno Rogers Dorsey for submitting this precious piece for scanning.)

Blanche Veno Wedding to Carl Oliverio. Blanche was the daughter of William J & Maude (Poulin) Veno.  She was the granddaughter of John (Jean) D and Marie Victorie (DeCoste) Veno.  She was also the great-granddaughter of Victorie Seraphine (Boudreau) and Isadore Decoste.

(Note from Betty Veno Bennette:  I went to school with Joannie Oliverio, Blanche's daughter.  Anyone know where she is now?)

One of the items from Ruthie's that I received was a black leather bible that is very, very old.  In the center were pages titled, Family Register, to record family information.  I believe the writing on these pages that I scanned is by Gracie.

Also among the photos I found an autograph book dated 1946 (high school) belonging to Ruthie Landin.  I scanned pages that were signed by names I recognized. 

("Gay" was Gracie's nickname when I was a little girl. I am sure this is Gracie)

This is from Betty Ann Veno (Forrest)
