The Honeymoon Continues

Here are some more of Alice's honeymoon photos, from 1924. They don't reveal much and are terribly faded. Elwood G. must have been camera shy—there are no photos of him. He must not have liked to take photos either, as there are no photos of his young bride. But I know that Alice enjoyed herself on the trip. She was in her 90s when she mentioned her honeymoon to me. She said very little but had a far-away look in her eye and a special smile as she recalled it. That's how honeymoons should be.

Honeymoon Photos

There are no wedding photos in the album or among the loose photos in my collection, but I found a little envelope marked "Pictures Taken on Our Honeymoon 1924." I remember hearing that Elwood and Alice went south for their honeymoon, but there are no markings on the photos--and no familiar faces in the photos. Wherever they went, the woods were piney and the roads were unpaved.
