Great picture-I can see where you got your sense of style!
Here, I found a whole bunch of old family photos. I’m just going to link to the ones I find most interesting. (My aunts were a stylish bunch, weren’t they?) They’re all of my dad’s family, specifically his father’s family, with one exception.
My Great-Great Aunt Margaret, her husband Uncle Leo, and my great-Aunt Lu in 1934. (Aunt Margaret’s a family legend-she died the same day I was born, and during Prohibition in the 1920s, she ran a speakeasy in her basement to make ends meet. How cool is that?)
Great-Gramma and Pappap Sutter with family, 1934
A picture from the same day, (judging by the fact that my aunt is wearing the same dress, and the date is the same). I’m not sure which one my grandfather is-he’s one of the two elder boys in the photo.
Great-Grandparents wedding, 1920s I THINK my great-grandmother is the one in the cloche on the right. I know that the man in the chair, however, is my great-grandfather.
Great-Gramma Sutter (then Anna Leahy), 1918
(I love this picture!)
MY great-grandparents’ “Bonnie and Clyde” style photo, 1924
Early 1900s picture of Great-grandmother and siblings
Great-Great Aunt Margaret is the one sitting, standing to the right is my great-grandmother, and Aunt Margaret is holding Great-Great Uncle France. The other kid is a neigbhor of their’s.
Aunt Lu, Uncle Paul and Aunt Joan, 1944
My Aunt Lu, Uncle Paul, (in his Navy uniform!), and my Aunt Joan. (I’d be willing to bet my Aunt Lu made those dresses-she’s a FANTASTIC seamstress)
Great Aunt Joan. Aunt Joan died when I was a baby. She never married, but she worked as a secretary for the CIA in D.C.!
Aunt Margie and Uncle Gene’s wedding
Aunt Margie is on the far right, then Uncle Gene, and then Aunt Gina (I THINK). I don’t know who the other man is.
Uncle Paul and Aunt Bernie’s wedding
My paternal grandparents wedding portrait, 1947
Aunt Margie, junior prom, 1952
My aunt Lu made her dress-she said it was white organdy (or something like that), with a lavender underdress.
Aunt Gina, Aunt Lu and Aunt Margie
I love this picture, it’s so sweet!
Great Grandparents and daughters, April 1954 My great-grandparents and four of my aunts. The only two I can identify for certain, though, are Aunt Margie, on the far right (I love her dress!), and aunt Gina on the far left.
Great Gramma Gerthoffer-Ellen Hickey, 1918 My dad’s mother’s mom, in 1918, before she was married.
