Sepia Saturday 262: The law, trials, photographs with writing on them

Scan0036

I decided to go with photos with writing on them since I have no photos of the other parts of the theme and these have been bugging me for quite some time!  They’re glued (securely) to a black construction paper type paper inside a small album that was once my great grandma Olga’s photo album.  Two different girls, and for a date, it could be somewhere in the 1930s or 1940s based on where they are in the album and who’s in the pages before and after.  I’ve long suspected these may be two of my great grandmother’s cousins or their cousins’ children.  There’s really no one in the Battin family that fits the dates well with two girls in the family, so I’m still pretty stumped.  Either way, someone was corresponding with my great grandma Olga Powis with inscriptions on the photos saying, “Wishing for your company all by myself,” and, “Greeting from an old pal,” and, “Sitting pretty all by herself.”  The center and right photo look to be taken on the same set of steps too.  So, still a mystery, but a set of nice photos for a Sepia Saturday.
