**Guinastasia** , my family has a portrait of my dad’s mother in an almost identical style to the one of your Great-Gramma Sutter, right down to the hairstyle and the gown. She was married in 1922 and this was when she was a bit younger than that, so I bet the pictures were taken around the same time. It must have been the fashion. Our picture isn’t colored, though.

Great pictures!

Here are a few of mine.

[My paternal grandmother and grandfather](http://members.aol.com/buzzofdelight/family/gg.gif) on their wedding day. Pretty snazzy looking for seriously middle-of-nowhere Kansas 1908.

The bride’s sister [Mabel](http://members.aol.com/buzzofdelight/family/mabel.gif). Possibly taken at the same time? Great hat!

[Three of my aunts:](http://members.aol.com/buzzofdelight/family/rle.gif) Ruth, Leah and Elizabeth, (daughters of the bride and groom above) taken around 1916.

[My mom](http://members.aol.com/buzzofdelight/family/md.gif), the bobby-soxer, with my dad circa 1946?
