Five generations

Photo provided.

The birth of Orlando Jack William Donaldson on Feb. 20, 2013, completed five generations of his father's family, who gathered for this photo on June 21 at the Masonic Temple, in Huntington. The baby is held by his great-great-grandmother, Ireta Rahn, of Huntington, with his grandmother, Melanie Rahn Donaldson Shockome, also of Huntington, seated at right. Also pictured are (back row, from left) Edwin Rahn, of Ossian, the baby's great-grandfather, and David Donaldson, of Fort Wayne, the baby's father. This is the second time in 21 years that the family has had five living generations, as David Donaldson's birth in 1992 completed the fifth generation at that time.
