My new found cousin, SGT, 3rd cousin 1x removed, found the above picture when she was going through her grandmother's photograph album. It was a postcard sent to Mr, & Mrs. Frank Henn, Mallory NY, on December 23, 1908. "Mr, & Mrs. Frank Henn, Mallory NY" is the whole address on the card! (Since it was in her grandmother's photograph album it must have made it.) The postcard gives the names and ages of the children pictured, and was signed by Owen J. Henn.
This is the back of the postcard:

Owen J, Henn was my great-grandfather and 1-year-old Carl was my grandfather.
SGT also sent me a photograph of Frank (1875 - 1945) and Olive (1884-1938) the youngest two of my great-grandfather's siblings.

There was another photo enclosed, but I'm going to save that for a later posting after I'm more certain of which generation of my family he belongs to.
Nice one, Jo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dara. I love when new cousins have pictures they are willing to share!
DeleteOooh, new photos of ancestors. What a wonderful treat.
ReplyDeleteI so agree! I’m so happy she wanted to share!
DeleteSuch cute children. Hazel was a very "in vogue" name in that time period. My grandmother, Hazel, was born in 1901.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too. I’d never seen a picture of my grandfather so young before. I wonder if it was in vogue then to names daughters after pretty trees in general, around 1901 I have both Hazel and Myrtle, in that timeframe.
