Clara Prudhomme Pape


The grandmother I knew was Clara (Prudhomme) Pape. 
I show her living in Fairfax, Polk Co, MN in the 1920 Census. 
Born in 1907, these are the older photos that I've acquired of her. 
The oval one I have framed on my shelf, I just love the hat and outfit she's wearing
 ... she looks like she could be in a fashion magazine in the 30s! 
The photo was taken by Anderson & Chickett. 
Minnesota Historical Society shows them in business in St Paul in 1932. 
Narrows it down pretty well! She would have been .... *math*math*math* ... 25!

Normally, I keep good notes when I acquire a photo, 
but have no notes on the other two. 
I would say the one is her confirmation, 
she looks a little too old for first communion 
(which is typically around second grade).
The other two in the photo with her .. mother? sister? Friends?
