I'm not sure if this goes anyplace, but this looks about as good a place as any. When I went through my mother's stuff after she died, I found thousands of color slides of course, dating back to about 1940, and I also found photos of various family members, but I also found a little box labeled "Kodak pictures" Little black and white prints and also a whole bunch of 2x3 or 3x4 negatives. These were of my mom's family when she was a kid and they were before my mom and dad got married in 1932. I've had some of the prints digitized. Some are labeled and some are not.

This is my mother Rosalie Yerkes - looks like she is in a school and is about 10 years old (?) so would have been taken in 1919

Burd School was an orphanage for girl children of clergymen

    Thanks for the trip down everyone's memory lane, I felt a bond from seeing some of my relatives in this same style. The baby with the white clapboard building.. I've seen so many like that through several decades, always a popular place to shoot! Loved these, thanks again.

    I think "Miss Detroit" might be my favourite! I spend a huge amount of time with old photos and never get tired of them. Oh, and the snowball photos are super neat, too! People being people.
