Edit: I am posting a photo of the comprehensive-fine-grandmother in remarks. She is the average ancestor of my fourth cousin Jane Bator and her mom, my overdue, sorely overlooked, 0.33 cousin as soon as got rid of, Martha Bator .

I do know it is not TBT, yet I simply felt like posting this this night. It really is me, at age sixteen, sporting the "2d-day clothe" of my appropriate-large-grandmother, Jane Alexander Crawford Hancock -- my maternal grandmother's grandmother. The "moment-day" get dressed became 2d in basic terms to the wedding ceremony gown , and became worn for extremely precise times. This clothe was once faded lemon yellow silk. An exquisite dress. The scarf changed into ecru lace. My grandmother donated it to the Chicago Historic Society. At one level, the gown became on screen there including this picture. I've no theory what has occurred to it within the intervening close to 60 years.
