Swapmeet Finds #2501

in #photography8 years ago

Written on the back of this one: "Ellen (Ellender) Elizabeth Thompson Blair". And from the mini family tree we saw in the previous post, we know she was the Great-Grandmother of Ray Laney and lived Dec. 2, 1852 - Dec. 21, 1892. So this photo must've been taken shortly before her death, somewhere around 1890. Wonder how/why she died so young (40 years old)?

Sort:  

she looks pretty good in photo mode.

I love youre articles @xntryk1

She died in a tragic umbrella accident. She was "brave enough", but it didn't work out well.

Ha-ha! Somehow I doubt it... :-)
