This May Day celebration took place in Sumter, SC in 1938.
The picture includes my Maternal Grandmother's sister, Lila Lorine (Daughrity)Robinson (1918-1951).

Are any of them in your family tree? Let me know!
Thanks for stopping by!
Helping you climb your family tree,
What a lovely photograph, Cheri, and the names are a great bonus! Hopefully someone has the same photo but with the little girls named as well! Definitely a treasure for today.
ReplyDeleteI posted to the county genealogy page on FB in hopes that someone will recognize them. It would be fun to send copies to family members of either the houng women or the little girls.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and commenting on my post, Celia!
What a great photograph! I remember Nelle Commander - she was once married to my grandmother's first cousin and lived with my grandparents in Miami, Fl for a while. Edith Evans may be realted to aniother cousin of mine, Do you mind if I share it with her? Wilson McElveen
ReplyDeleteWilson, please share it! I was hoping when I posted this picture someone would recognize the names and faces! Thanks so much!
DeleteWow - a picture with names on the back. What a concept!
ReplyDeleteI have some Stoudamire/Stoudamoyer -- probably a variation on the Stoudenmire in the photo.
I know, right? I wish the names of the little girls were on it too! I hope that I can get copies or the pic to family members. Thanks for reading and commenting!
