This is a school photograph from my mother's childhood.
I keep it on a shelf in my study.
My mother is the girl with a checked dress in the center above. She has a locket hanging from a chain. I wonder what happened to that.
Mom was born in December 1918 so in March 1927 when this photo was taken she would have been 8 years old.
It was a one room school house there in Bausman Township outside of Lancaster, PA. Mom ended up skipping a grade or two because there was only the one big class with one teacher.
This is a photo I will treasure and pass on.

What a wonderful treasure Marcia, I can see why you display it proudly. Your mom and mine were born at about the same time. Thanks for sharing this week and since you post is titled #1, I hope that there are many more treasures to come.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure you have, Marcia.... Great picture of your Mom and the school mates is truly priceless. My Mom was born in 1900 and died in 1991.

This is a wonderful memory of your mother and all the other kids. I like to look at those old photos it is like a journey through time.
ReplyDeleteHow precious this is. I don't think a picture exists of either my mom or my dad as a child...
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love this wonderful photo! Your Mom is adorable. What a reassure to have!
