Pieces of the Past: Nan and BJ

Nan and BJ

I remember my my mom talking about BJ Carney, an old beau of hers before she met my father. I am certain these are pictures of Nan and BJ. In the first picture, I love the rather coy smile she has on her pretty face. And what a lovely hat she is wearing.

This is most certainly taken at the Sionilli, the Pearce cottage upriver from Peoria in Rome. BJ has a cigar in his hand. The cars back in the early 1900's were really great looking pieces of machinery. (Click to enlarge)

Old Pictures of the People in My Life

In this blog, I will post pictures from the past of the many people in my life who I love and have loved. The initial post and any that are labeled Pearce Family refer to my mother's family. Dan and Maggie Pearce had five children, Nelle, Nan, my mother, Harry (Ham), Leah and Ed. They took a lot of pictures and I plan to post many of them. My brother has sent me many pictures over the internet this past week - some of which I haven't seen - and this has prompted me to set up this blog to display those wonderful old photos.

I will also be posting pictures of my family, my husband's family, and our family. Those posts will be labeled by the family's name in the list on the sidebar. I hope this is something that will be enjoyed by anyone who looks in on

my blog.

I will try and tell as much as I can remember about people and places and events and of course much of it will be inaccurate but really just having the great old photographs to look at is fun in itself. And I do know who lots of the folks are.

Enjoy.
