You're quite the detective!<br /><br />I'm grateful that my mom writes dates and names on most of the older pictures. Her mother did this, too. Because of them, when I send family pictures out to relatives, I label them. Sometimes I feel kind of silly doing so; after all, Aunt So-and-So obviously knows who we are, but I try to remind myself that years from now, when that picture ends up in someone's old shoebox somewhere, at least he or she can know the names of the people in the picture.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272293468239097754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-57525757067018102592013-01-30T12:01:04.503-05:002013-01-30T12:01:04.503-05:00How interesting, and wonderful that you made that ...How interesting, and wonderful that you made that connection. Of course they might not have all followed suit with their fashions. I say this from knowing how some of my relatives often used what they had on hand- (trunks and trunks of old clothes) which in many cases were handed down from other generations! Especially their hats. Gee I wish they were still around. As a little girl I thought that all those lovely items (stored away in my grand- mother's attic) would remain in the family. NOT the case, sadly.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-3742412995308116802013-01-30T11:19:54.429-05:002013-01-30T11:19:54.429-05:00I identified people on some of my photos, but I ha...I identified people on some of my photos, but I have drifted from that habit.

Two of her sisters married in the 70s so maybe it's one of them. I'm stuck on the idea that this is a wedding picture, but maybe that's not the case either.<br /><br />1885 was the year James Franklin married his second wife. But does he look 50 in this picture??? I can't tell. This would explain why the pictures don't match though. <br /><br />Thanks for your help, Teresa.
