Sarah Dumes Kaplan, regrettably headless (1936)Sarah Dumes Kaplan was the eldest daughter of Sadie Silk Dumes. She married Jacob Kaplan while they were still in Vishki. For a time in the late 1930s, she and Jacob lived with her youngest brother William J. Dumes in Vincennes. Jacob was a Rabbi and taught Stan Dumes to read Hebrew during this time.
In this short clip, we see Stan walking with Sarah, who is unfortunately headless in the shot. It was a short-coming of these old cameras; they did not have "through the lens" view-finders, so it was sometimes difficult to know where to point the camera. Then we see Sarah walking with Stan's mother Freda Fialco Dumes.
The clip is 1m 17s long. | People seen in movie:Sarah Dumes Kaplan Stanley Dumes Freda Fialco Dumes

Freda Dumes and Georgia Fishman. (1936)Freda Fialco Dumes was the wife of William J. Dumes, the usual cameraman and son of Sadie Silk Dumes. Georgia Helen Fishman was her niece, the youngest child of Max and Fannie Dumes Fishman. This is a very short, but very sweet clip of the two of them walking together.
The clip is 11s long.

Meet the ancestors: Sarah, Louis, Rebecca, Fannie, Anna, William (1937)This is quite a movie! Every branch of the Dumes family is represented. I don't think Arthur Dumes is in the film, but there are two men I can't identify. I think one might be Max Fishman, but I'm not sure who the other might be. I was told that Abe Schultz rarely attended family events because he was always working. Arthur's daughters are here, though I don't see his son Bill I.
This clip is really an astonishing bit of family history. Enjoy!

Ben Karp (1938)A very short, but really nice clip of a very dashing Ben Karp. I believe his is coming out of William J. Dumes' house on 504 N. 1st Street. Any better guess of the year is appreciated.
Ben Karp married Jeannette Dumes, daughter of Louis Dumes, son of Sadie Silk. He was instrumental in the founding of the synagogue in Vincennes, along with Louis and William J. Dumes.

Bill on bike, watch out world! (1958)My grandfather, William J. Dumes, was not known for being one of the world's great drivers. His bike handling skills look a bit out of practice too. But despite this, everyone seems to be having a lovely time eating outside in his back yard in Vincennes.

Adventures in Kiddieland! (1960)This is Uncle John's Kiddieland, which was a legendary place in Vincennes. I spoke of it with such fondness and grandeur that when I showed this movie to my son Greg, he was deeply disappointed to see that this was all it was! Compared to Disneyland, maybe a disappointment, but we loved it.

Alan Dansker's Bar Mitzvah (1965)Though it would have been really cool, The Byrds did not play at Alan Dansker's Bar Mitzvah party, despite the misleading soundtrack. However, they did have a big hit with "Bells of Rhymney" in that year.

Thanksgiving with cousins in Vincennes (1966)Thanksgiving 1966 in Vincennes with the William J. Dumes family: daughter Mildred and her husband Dave Dansker, their children Anita, Adie and Alan; son Stan and his wife Phyl, their children Harold, Sandi and Bruce (me). William J. is behind the camera, but both my grandmothers make an appearance, William's wife Freda and my maternal grandmother Ida Abels.
"Monday Monday" holds no special significance other than being a great song that was a hit that year.

Groovin' with the cousins (1967)It's October 7, 1967. Groovin' by the Young Rascals just hit #1 in May, and that summer it seemed like the song was everywhere.
This is the family of William J. Dumes in play, first in Mildred's backyard in Bloomington, and then on another day in W.J.'s backyard in Vincennes. William, wife Freda, children Stan and his wife Phyl and kids Harold, Sandi and Bruce (me). Mildred and her children Anita, Adie and Alan.
Dave Dansker had just passed away in March. I remember him as a nice man who had the most amazing collection of National Geographic magazines. And I remember him humorously singing "Li'l Red Riding Hood" by Sam The Sham and The Pharaohs and howling like Sam did on the record.
