It's baby Joe's mother!!

Recall cute baby Joe with his hair parted down the middle, who I had posted about on January 19th? Well, this is his mother! My cousin bought this photograph and upon looking at the back, it says Joe's mother written on it in the exact same handwriting as Joe's name on my photograph of him. Interesting, isn't it? Perhaps the family gave these pictures away and they somehow ended up in the same town.

Anyways, I don't know her name, but I'm pretty sure that this was taken at the same time as Joe's photo. I can now date both pictures to about the late 1800s because of this woman's clothing. Case solved! Well, kind of. I wonder what her name is and where their family lived...

Little Joe

Like many of my other acquired photographs, I'm uncertain as to when this was taken as well as who took it and exactly how old the child in the image is. All I know is that his name is Joe. It had his name scrawled on the back of the card the photograph is attached to.

My mom actually picked this one out of a pile of pictures at the antique store the took me too (in Fenelon Falls). She loved it because of the little hair part he has in the middle of this head. Isn't it adorable? His expression is so cute, too! :)
