Family females from 'the era..'

BT's - Feel free to delete if my contribution isn't appropriate for PR. But I had a couple of photos of female family members in a shoe box that I wanted to share. The lady portrait, is my grandmother, Essie, in the 1920's. The photo of the two girls (show my mother with 'the hair' on the left) is from my Uncle Joe and Auntie Erith's wartime wedding in England. Enjoy...:)

My Grammy

This is my Grammy on her wedding day. This is one of my most favorite pictures. I think she looks beautiful! It's a little blurry because I took a picture of the original with my digital camera and it didn't come out great, but I wanted to share.

I think they were married in 1945, or a year or so after. Their oldest child was born either in 1951 or '52, but I'm not sure how long they were married before they had kids. My Grammy was a sergeant in the Women's Army Corp during the war and my Grampy was in the Navy. I have a picture of my Grampy (not on their wedding day) but I can't find the thread to post it in.

I love my Grammy's suit also, and I thought her shoes were really cute too.

ETA: She was a very classy lady. Even when she was older she always had her makeup and hair done and was dressed nicely and polished with nice accessories. I definitely miss her.

A couple of shots taken by a Nabisco route salesman in 1923, documenting product displays in local grocery stores -- and also documenting the storekeepers themselves. (Ebay finds.) Large, but worth it for the detail.
