Alice and Kids

These are the last 2 photos in the second album. 

Baby Dot and her pull toy
No date, but likely 1918


Alice, top right, with a passel of kids
Elwood J. is to the right of Alice. Is that his sister Betty in front?
My guess is that this photo is from around 1932.

****************

The next batch of 75 or so photos I'll post are loose, not pasted in albums. Most of them have helpful info on their backs, which means I can arrange them by decade, so the images will appear in something like chronological order for a change, and some will even be in color. The photos date from the 1890's (Elwood G.'s baby photo) to the late 1950s/early 1960s—when Grandma Alice moved to her home in Fanwood, New Jersey.

Baby Bobby

Sorry for the bad crops on these. The album page is warped and the photos were pasted on crooked. 

Bobby and chickens 
No dates on any of these.

Baby Joe and More

 This photo of Alice's younger brother Joe was likely taken in 1913 or 1914. 
 A cut-out of the family car, no date

No names, no date on this one.

Dotty & Alice, 1918

We are reaching the end of the second album. 
The photos on these pages are in bad shape—creased, spotted, and faded.

Dot and Joe, Helen and Flo

No dates on these but the first two were most likely take in 1918.
Joe, Dotty, and Helen

Dot (not Ruth; even Grandma got them mixed up.)

This one is a favorite. It's of Helen and Flo @ 1920.
I love their happy, goofy grins and their excellent bathing costumes. 
We saw them all grown up in the blog entries posted on May 15-17.

Well-Dressed Ladies on the Lawn

No dates on these three photos. My guess is 1918-ish. Alice is on the left in each.
