Loose Family Photographs. in Postcards 4

I’ve gathered a collection of my loose family photos and have begun scanning them. I had thought everyone was scanned until I opened one folder. This one says Mrs. MM Hunt…. Margaret Millicent Hunt Hyde, perhaps taken during the civil war era…1861 through 1865.

This image of Mrs. Hyde is dated 1870. The gentle smile of the first image is gone, and a stern face now stares to the side of the camera. I wish I knew more about her.

This last image was taken approximately 1909. A handful of other photographs were taken that day. How I wish they had been dated. Maybe my cousin Tom, who reads my blog almost every day, knows more about Mrs. MM Hunt. This Margaret Millicent was my Grandfather’s grandmother. My mother was named after her, as was his sister, myself, and one of my children plus two of my grandchildren.

Perhaps there should be a site for Margaret Millicent’s.

• Himself: At work from 0630, did take out the trash and find time to remake a template for the crow quilt.
• Herself: Pool, scanning, store for DARK green fabric, and sew and read away the afternoon.
• 52 Week House Reorganization: It says to put the photos in photo storage boxes. Instead I am scanning them, putting them on two hard drives and a thumb drive.
• Reading: An early Archer Mayor.
• Gratitudes: That the water in the pool was warm this morning.
