Hazel, George, Agda & Mips. 1923.
Hazel, my great-grandmother.
George, unknown.
Agda, my great-grandmother’s sister.
Mips, my great-grandmothers life-long friend.
I told you about Agda (Ugh-duh) last week, remember? And was I right? I mean, I know my great-grandmother wasn’t a looker, either. But Ugduh Agda kinda reminds me of Moaning Mrytle! Poor girl.
Here’s one more, just for making fun.
This is Agda with Harry. Not sure who he is, but I’m pretty sure he ended up being admitted to a mental institution. I’m not making this stuff up!
OK, that’s the last one I’m going to make fun of. I’m sorry, Agda. I hope my great-great-great-niece doesn’t do this to me!

You crack me up! She does look like Moaning Myrtle!!!
Too funny. I loved looking through old photographs as a child. I still do, but I don’t get the chance since we aren’t close to any family or the old photographs.
That’s so funny! I think Agda looks like Miss America next to Mips!
Thanks for the laugh! Happy WW!
Oh I just love old pictures, but even better is a story that goes along with them. Very well done. Have a great WW.
I love old photos. Cool
Very cool vintage photos. Liked the story too.
HA HA! Love the walk down memory lane.
I see the moaning mertle resemblance. Thanks! Now I will have her voice in my head all day

OH my gosh you were so right!!! Poor, poor Agda! BTW – do you think the name Agda morphed into Amanda? Just a thought – nothing to do w/ the looks, I promise!!!! You just might not want to make so much fun of your namesake:)

I can’t see the first pic, so I’m glad you posted the 2nd. I love the Moaning Myrtle comparison! Ha ha!
Moaning Myrtle? You should be ashamed! Although, now that you mention it. OK she looks like Moaning Myrtle. I wonder if she ever lived in the lady’s room?
I love old photos … but your comments have me LMAO!!
She really does look like Moaning Myrtle. Poor thing!!
I love anything that includes a random Harry Potter reference.
LOL you are too funny! Love the pictures
great photos. I tagged you! check out my blog.
Poor gal. It’s those glasses. And that shirt with the horizontal stripes. And quite possibly her name. Poor gal.
Hey Honey,
Mips was Grandma’s sister and George was their brother. On another note- I’m looking hard and thankfully I see NO family resemblance to us. Whew!!
Agda and Harry were Grandpa’s siblings.
