Photographed at Lutge’s Photograph Gallery, 53 Monroe Avenue, Detroit, Michigan is Mrs. Jennie Berry. She wrote on the back of the photo, “This was taken before I took sick.”
A quick look for a Jennie Berry in Detroit shows that there are at least two who could be the lady in the photograph. Hoping someone will recognize her and I can return the photo to family members.
What are your thoughts on her age and time-frame of when the photo was taken?
For some really strange (and unknown) reason, I can’t comment directly in your blog – not comment form is showing to me – and I’m having to comment via the Reader view instead. I wonder if any of your other followers are having the same problem?
This is a lovely photo. To me, she looks about 40-50 but as I can’t see it very closely, its difficult to tell if her face is lined or not.
Do you ever take a chance and contact the possible families via your research on these otherwise unknown-photos? Or do you wait and hope they’ll find your post?
