Old Family Photographs
I am currently going through some old family photographs and plan to document what I know or remember with each one. I hope I don’t bore you with my ramblings. Here is a photo of my paternal grandmother, Myra (Middleton) Barton with my father, David Barton, when he was very young.
My father must have been two or three years old at most, and he was born in 1935, which means the photo is from 1937-1938. I’m guessing here since there is no information on the back of the photo. See the cheeky expression on his face? And look at that head of curly hair! I always wondered where my eldest son got his curly locks as a young child. Now I know for sure.
That image of my grandmother is as I remember her. She was always wearing what she called a house dress. They typically were a shift style dress (like the pattern above) with buttons down the front. They were always floral designs. She did have a sewing machine, I wonder if she made them herself? I really don't know. It wasn’t until much later in her life that I ever saw her wearing slacks. I want to find a place that can clear up the graininess, bring it into sharper focus and enlarge both photos here.
