My paternal grandmother Julia Mary Walsh Slade was probably
13 years old in this picture which is glued fast to the photo
album of her half-sister Helen Killeen Parker. The few pictures that have dates
written on them are from 1918-1920.
What was the occasion?
Too old
for her first Holy Communion. Too young to be a bride. Was it
Easter?

Respectfully disagreeing; she isn't too old for a first communion; her head piece looks like a Catholic first communion, and she has a bouquet. Discuss... or call 444-4444.
ReplyDeleteI think MOST first communions were done at around age 7-8. She looks older and her shoes have a bit of a heel. Her mantilla does look communionish, but it could be Easterish, or just ordinary massish.
