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.

Marge & Julie


Aunt Marge and her little Julie

The picture is labeled 1969, must be summer, short sleeves are in tow, 
and the playpen in the background is in the shade.  
Can't tell if this was taken on the farm.
Aunt Margie confirms that this was taken in the park,
at a picnic with the Laidley families.
