Black Photograph Album 1939-1942


While packing things up last winter, we came across this delightful little album which Grandma/Lois kept as a young teenager. It gives us a glimpse into a happy little girl's life and the hopes and dreams which are part of every young person's experience.

Lois was very careful to caption each picture with a white pencil on the black pages.
The album begins in Utah and covers the move to Rawlins, Wyoming. The majority of the photos are of her sisters, brother, extended family and friends.

These are pictures from the first 4 pages. We'll scan our way through the whole album over the next few weeks.

Betty, Marie, Leona Haehle (neighbor) and Glenda.
[developed May 20 1939]

Lois identified on back of photo. Kathy thinks she's the girl with the white hat on the second row. Mike thinks she's the girl on the far left of the front row. They both look close enough to be at least sisters or cousins. What's your opinion? Weigh in with a comment!

  1. These are all so fun to look at. Thanks again Mike and Kathy for doing this. I really think it's too bad we didn't see these pictures before now. It's a good thing to learn from and bring pictures out for our own kids.
