Thanks Bill. It is a grass skirt she’s wearing… I know she took a modeling class and there are some interesting photos from that, but this looks like an amateur photographer took this picture (seeing as how it’s not particularly sharp). If it is from those modeling photo-shoots then this one didn’t make the final cut as there aren’t any studio prints of this. Just this one very unsharp snapshot!

Great photo Whitney. She sure was a looker! Is that a grass skirt she’s wearing? If so, it might be
from a shoot because it sort of flows with the lines of the bushes behind her.

Thanks for sharing this.

That’s an amazing family photograph and perhaps the story will emerge in due course. Thanks for sharing it. Regards, Brett

Most are in Union and Hempstead County now (Nashville/El Dorado). My grandmother is originally from Matador County, Texas. However, after her mother died of Tuberculosis in 1928, she and her brothers and sister (her sister only stayed for a time, and then was taken in by their grandparents) went to live at the Methodist Home for Children in Abilene, Texas. I’m a little sketchy on the details, but my grandparents met when my grandfather was doing his medical internship at the hospital that my grandmother was a medical stenographer in. And go figure, she got a “D” in typing her senior year in High School!
