While digitizing an old photo album, that my Dad’s mom put together – circa 1924, I found these two professional pictures. Nothing written on either side…nothing indicating who these two might be… I am not sure if either of these is my grandmother…although the one on the right seems to me to have characteristics of the her side of the family.
