Another Family Heirloom Found...on Facebook?

The picture below, original frame and all, was delivered to me on Saturday by a friend and former neighbor from Meade Street who was in town for the day.

 

She acquired it, many years ago, when the family homestead ( my g-grandfather Stanley Rajkowicz's house across the street where she grew up ) was being emptied out. Through Facebook, she found out about this blog, told me about this picture, and asked if I would like it back. After confirming with my mother & Aunt Helen that they remembered the picture from the middle room of Aunt Sophie's home...I replied yes.

 

Yesterday, we swapped pics. I had found a very old picture of St. Cecelia - which no one seemed to remember - carefully wrapped and stored in the shed, and offered that in exchange for the pic below.
 

I think everyone was pleased with the outcome of a simple Facebook connection.

Best I can find about this pic on the web?

Sometime after 1900. 

 

 

Sorry about the recent slowdown in posts, folks.

 

Things will pick up once we get past September.

 

Be well.
