Origin of Picture: original hard copy inherited from my great-grandfather Gerard Vangheluwe (on the picture, first row). Gerard Vangheluwe was born in 1898 at Deerlijk as a son of F. Vangheluwe and Marie Nathalie Surmont, he was a grandson of Jean Baptiste Surmont and Susanne d'Huyvetter (from Ingooigem) and a great-grandson of François Petrus Surmont and Marie Therese de Croock. His spouse was Zozyma Verhaeghe (September 5, 1898 - July 19, 1981), daughter of Theophile Verhaeghe and Marie Louise Devos.
