My great grandfather and his two sisters.
This is probably around 1912.
He was 19 at this time–the same year he married my great grandmother at age 14!
Notice the girls’ hair. And their clothes. And don’t you just love my great-grandfather’s smile?

Great photo! Where did your family originate from? I’m a lover of genealogy. For some reason I have you picked out for having Irish roots – why, I have no idea!

Yellowed pics! I am always awed with yellowed pics. The history and all. Also, makes me think how amazing it is that we can store pics easily and conveniently these days?

I do love his smile, very friendly… look at their hair, how would you get your hair to look like that? Interesting. You know I’m in the market for a new hair style

I love that photo. I’m a sucker for the old ones, too, especially when you’re able to tell us who’s who.

Huh, I can’t figure out how they got their hair to do that. It’s almost like a hat pushed down over their foreheads. As always, neat photo!
