A Great Picture of My Mom, Nan

This was a small picture in an old album that I have had for a long time. The other day I scanned it and blew it up quite a bit - it is now another of my favorite pictures of the many photos of the Pearce family. I am 99% sure Nan is seated on a wall that encircles the Peoria City Hall. I looked on line and from what I can tell, it is the same building. Regardless, it would be in downtown Peoria and it is a great picture of Nan and also the majestic old building. It was probably taken while she was working at a camera shop when she was young. Notice she is holding her lovely hat on her lap. It is awesome how many hats the two older Pearce girls had - and their mom, Maggie, had quite a few also. (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.
