Still, I can hope that someone appears from the shadows to claim one of the other women as an ancestor!

Perhaps the men-folk were in the process of tearing down some old buildings that "grandpa" had built and they stopped for a photo before dismantling it.<br /><br />Quite the interesting photo. I hope you find the answers about it you are looking for.Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-36597722489684687892012-11-30T06:20:34.585-05:002012-11-30T06:20:34.585-05:00My eyes were immediately drawn to how the woman in...My eyes were immediately drawn to how the woman in the dark outfit who had her hands clenched. She sure looks like she was under a lot of stress. I agree with Heather that it might be a picture of storm damage--but the white dress sure doesn't seem to suggest that they were doing any storm clean-up. It sure is an intriguing picture.

Because my grandmother looks so young (15, 16, 17?), though, and didn't marry till she was 21, it make me wonder if she knew her husband's family well before they married.<br /><br />Yes, I wondered about the smile on the face of the middle lady with so much disarray around. I also wondered about my grandmother in white in the midst of so much dirt. In fact, none of them look like they're about to do clean-up work. So why are they there? <br /><br />If I knew the date I could look at local newspapers for information about recent storms.<br /><br />My only hope of finding anything is that a descendant of either of the women on the left might find the photo, have a similar one, and have heard a story about it.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Heather. They give me a little more to think about.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-27220227358139046762012-11-29T13:11:22.612-05:002012-11-29T13:11:22.612-05:00Oh, yes, I wonder about who took some of the photo...Oh, yes, I wonder about who took some of the photos I have, too. Don't you wish family left detailed accounts of their photos, naming each person, the location, the event, the date, etc.? I sure do!

Before I read your text my first thought of this photo was that it was taken after a storm. It looks like storm debris to me, but I can't imagine they would be smiling in that kind of photo.Heather Kuhn Roelkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247311735034470203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-48300581410020806342012-11-29T06:20:04.559-05:002012-11-29T06:20:04.559-05:00So I'm not the only one who gazes at photos co...So I'm not the only one who gazes at photos considering the same things!
