Yo...Hmmm...Lummie would have been eighteen in 1904. You are convincing me to check into the possibilities. Although in a small town like Erwin, Tennessee...it'll be a stretch, but always worth the try.<br /><br />Thank you for your advice on checking all the borders of the photos. I've already noticed some are obviously in the same set. I'm still going through boxes and boxes, so when I get to the end of it all, it looks like I'll have to clear off my big work table and cover it up again with more photos...Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-17498195766691441392014-01-08T21:49:15.493-08:002014-01-08T21:49:15.493-08:00It's kind of hard to tell from this photo, Igg...It's kind of hard to tell from this photo, Iggy. What I love about it (I'm being mean here) is that apparently, someone snapped this picture before they should have. It looks like Lummie/Sarah Martha/whoever it was was trying to fix her hair before the picture was taken, and when she realized she was caught primping, scrunched up her nose and gave a disgusted look at whoever the impatient shutterbug was.<br /><br />But...making that face she does makes it hard to tell for sure who the person is.<br /><br />At any rate, I think the best way to guess would be to estimate the time frame such a photo format was in use, and work from there. Also, to judge by the clothing (she seems to be wearing a longer skirt) and the long hair in an up-do, rather than bobbed, etc.<br /><br />Details like that make me tend to favor a time frame for Lummie and Jack, versus the younger Sarah Martha and C.J.<br /><br />At any rate, thanks for locating Sarah Martha's yearbook photo, Iggy. She does resemble her mother quite strongly.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-34337680069940178692014-01-08T21:40:33.805-08:002014-01-08T21:40:33.805-08:00Oh, no, Wendy: when I was 5'1" (the last ...Oh, no, Wendy: when I was 5'1" (the last time I saw my grand aunt), I was a kid.

Then about 1908 they began an High School Annual...the classes were increasing in size. <br /><br />When you are all done. Start over. Put the like paper and borders together. Sometimes it is like a big puzzle. I am working on those unidentified California Photos..which are turning out to be mostly Ohio photos I think. It is one big puzzle. I bet you will find some answers in the photos without names.:)<br />Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-38415595585063268402014-01-06T06:47:58.900-08:002014-01-06T06:47:58.900-08:00Only 5'1"?

She would have gone to a school too small and too early for the traditional yearbook photos. It was fortunate that her passport application, which included a photo, has been made searchable online, or I wouldn't even have had that!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-51243040684564847582014-01-05T18:42:52.668-08:002014-01-05T18:42:52.668-08:00Interesting you should mention models, Wendy.

I would love to find any shots of her, or items from her portfolio. I only knew her in her much later years--and, speaking of 5'1", that (or shorter) would be about the vantage point I was at when she last visited our family.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-27371114201025778352014-01-05T07:17:23.675-08:002014-01-05T07:17:23.675-08:00Perhaps a school yearbook would have a photo...

Oh, maybe it's "short" in today's modeling world if you believe Tyra Banks and "America's Top Model" but if the other relatives were 5'1" they were looking up to Lummie and Mabel, for sure.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
