Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.

Wordless Wednesday Mother and Child
The photograph was taken in or around Natchez, MS. The pair is unknown to me.
This would have been a good picture for your "Hat" series. They look soooo very serious. Even though it was the style at the time not to smile in photographs, it's almost as if little miss was scolded just before the picture was taken.

ReplyDeleteLittle Miss was probably a bundle of energy. I like the way Mama has her loving arm around her to insure she stays in place.
DeleteAn absolutely gorgeous photograph! Thanks for sharing.
