Pieces of the Past: Stylish Little Lady

Stylish Little Lady

I am 99% certain that this is a picture of my husband's mother, Clementine Julia. The bangs throw me a bit, but it really looks like her. If it isn't, it's a wonderful picture anyway and probably is a member of his family--maybe even his Aunt Leatha. This is a stylish little girl with her pretty white collar, hat with a turned back brim and I do believe I see earrings. This is rather like Fashion Friday on Tuesday.

This is the back and shows the prices for photographs. I have noticed in many of the old papers that Illinois was abbreviated back in the "old days" as "Ills." (Click to enlarge)

This is not a tin-type, is it? It looks to me like the photograph was trimmed from a larger studio photo. I wonder who tatted the collar...

Wow, I've never seen a pink card used. That's really interesting. Love the photo with the wonderful hat.

Interesting! She was adorable. I'm always intrigued by the old family photos and I have one that I wrote about in my latest column that we still don't know exactly who the people are in it, though we know they're our family members in Poland in 1939. I've stared into their faces so many times in that photo, wondering who was who exactly.
Hope you've had a wonderful week,
Linda

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.
