Young Myrtle



My grandmother, Myrtle, as a young girl.  Not sure who she's with-- her mother?
This was taken aprox 1919-1922.  My grandmother was born in 1915, and
this girl looks to be 4-6 years old.  If the woman is my great grandmother,
she would be approx 36yo in this photo, and she looks so young!
She's wearing a ring on her left hand.  Grandmother's sisters
were at most 12  years apart.
Ahh the mysteries of unmarked photos! and one of my passions!

Updated:  August 2014  this is Myrtle with her sister, Ruth
it was taken in 1919; Myrtle had been ill, and they
weren't sure she would survive, so they had a formal portrait made.
This is the only photo of my grandmother when she was young.
