Pre-1920s And yet more favorites from another of my great-grandfather's pre-1920's albums, (between 1918-1919). Around Philadelphia, Atlantic City, NJ, and a few in Mobile, AL.
All of these are from an album my great-grandmother put together about their wedding. The first page has a photo of both of them and both of their separate homes.
The person on the left in the first photo is my great-grand aunt, I believe. She went by "Bill" for most of her life. She moved to Mexico, became a citizen, and bought and raised race horses with her husband. I found a newspaper clipping that said their home was featured in a Nat Geo magazine but couldn't find any mention of it in their archives. I have a great photo of her in the 30's in some riding gear looking very chic and handsome! Also another photo of her where she looks quite blue in the late 60's, so I wonder if she got into colloidal silver - eek
That's about it, as far as pre-1920's goes! If I decide on a way to post the entire album where the other photos came from, I will certainly make a post to alert the masses (if allowed).
