Pieces of the Past: Favorite Picture Rerun

Favorite Picture Rerun

Another of my very favorite old family pictures - this one from my husband's family most likely taken in the 1890's. The little baby on the left is his father, Harry, and the sweet little girl standing next to him is Harry's sister, Ethel. The family would later grow by three more boys and one more girl. It's hard to tell what the setup is that little Harry is seated on. Looks almost like a chair covered by something furry - a little odd to say the least. I love the expressions on the little faces and the pretty little dresses they wear. What a sweet picture. (Click to enlarge)

My dad had a photograph of himself in a dress which was never revealed until after he died!

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.
