Photo Details
monna Addicted to 3S Registered: February 2007 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 795	This is one of my all-time favorite heritage photos. Mary Jane Eldridge was my great-grandmother, born in 1866 and died in 1932 in Kentucky. Genealogical records say she died of stomach cancer. Although she died when she wasn't much older than I am now, I am amazed at the work and worry that shows on her face and her gnarled hands. Perhaps that is why I love heritage photos so much. They give us a glimpse of the life our ancestors lived and add some understanding and appreciation of our own lives today. Please join me in sharing YOUR favorite heritage photo. I can look at them for hours, and so want to see YOURS! I used Irene O'Neill's beautiful "Elizabeth Christina" kit and Lianne Carper's Aged Frames.

GORGEOUS page and what a beautiful photo! Isn't it amazing how much older our grand parents and great drands always look then we are at their same age. I wonder why? Did they work harder than we did? Lifestyles sure were different. We have it made these days compared to generations before.
