I received this picture from a cousin a few days ago.
It is my Grandma Temple's half sister Nellie
Nellie was born in 1894. After her mother died her father remarried my great grandmother Zilla Dow- they had two children Temple and Harry- thus the half sister status with Aunt Nellie. I do no think they thought of themselves as being half sisters as my grandma & Nellie were very close.
Note the long shaggy rug she is on- I did not know they had anything like that in those days!!

Hi Debra,
I was so glad to see this picture ! My grandmother & My grandfathers 2nd wife (grandmother Mae) was on this same kind of fur.I assume it was a bear rug.They were into using everything they had around.Very resourceful people.
As I told you before,I have been working on my genealogy & I just love finding out everything I can,maybe some day I can put mine in a blog form.Keep up the wonderful work.
I just love your blog !So glad you send me updates.
Wishing you a belated Merry Christmas & a very wonderful New Year !!
How can I add you to my blog ?
I love her hairstyle! What a sweet little thing.
That almost looks like polar bear fur, doesn't it? I wonder...!!!
I think it just mught be polar bear fur! Wonder what ever happened to it!
Oh how cute....my grandma had a similar life! And yep, I do believe it's a bear rug.
