Three-month-old Josie Labelle, left, rests in the arms of her mother, Dakota Herschel, 21, both of Huntington Vt. With them are Herschel’s mother, Aimee Herschel, 40, of Huntington, Vt., center, Josie’s great-grandmother Donna Marcoux, 63, of Windsor, and great-great-grandmother, Gertrude Russell, 85, of Newport. The family gathered in August to celebrate Russell’s birthday. “It is, I think, kind of unusual these days,” said Marcoux of having five generations of the same family together at the same time. Russell, she said, was thrilled to become a great-great-grandmother. “She didn’t think she’d be alive long enough to be one.” Courtesy of Donna Marcoux
