Only three photos have been found
that include Peter or Rose. One is a portrait-like portion of a
photo that included an unidentified friend or neighbor. The second
is a photo of Peter on the Lamont farm with his team of horses and some
small children, which was taken around 1920. The boy on the horse
has been identified as son Anthony. The others have not been
identified. The third is the formal photograph taken to commemorate
the wedding of daughter Mary and Adam Piersa, a neighbor. Rose is
behind the flower girl. Mary Weritz is to the right of the flower girl.
Son Peter is behind Rose. Anton Weritz is the fourth person from the left
side of the back row (with mustache). Peter was probably outside smoking
a cigar, which was a passion of his.
Below are links to a couple photos
of Peter Chubon that were recently acquired (April 2008). They were
provided by Betty Trulik-Rossman, a Lamont neighbor and family friend.
The Trulik family came from Slovakia at around the time Peter and Rose
immigrated and ended up on a small farm, which was across the road from
the Chubon farm and adjacent to the Weritz farm. Betty and her mother
were with Peter when he died.
The 1941 photo is a real gem, showing a side of Peter that had been
mentioned before. Betty said she knew him as "an always happy, fun
loving guy," which the photo seems to confirm. Betty recalled that it
was a posed picture taken with Peter's encouragement and direction. The
photo was taken when he was visiting Mr. Trulik, and they had a couple
shots of whiskey, which was customary. Earlier Mrs. Trulik found some
kind of club, and brought it out to show them. Peter got this idea to
take a photo of them pretending to be drunks, with Mrs. Trulik standing
over them with the club and berating them for drinking. As you can see,
he reserved the bottle for himself.
The 1940 photo was also taken when he was visiting the Truliks. The
woman in the light dress is Mrs.Trulik, and the other was a family
friend.

This is the oldest known photo that
includes Chubon
family members. It is thought that the tallest child in the back
row (left side) is Anthony. The others in the back row going from the
left to right are John Weritz, John Chubon, and Paul Weritz. The
identifications were made by Joe Chubon, who is wearing the white coat in the photo. The photo was taken beside the Lamont farmhouse and probably dates to around 1924. It
was preserved by Anthony.
Additional
postings for this page will be appreciated. There is plenty of room on the
server for additional photographs. The goal is to post photos of as many
of the descendants and ancestors of Peter and Rose as possible. If you
