A Little History That Went A Long Way

Remember that scene in Back to the Future III where Marty and Doc have their picture taken in front of the clock for the tower in Hill Valley?  That picture ends being integral part of the story, just as it would be for anyone's family history.  Having said that, I always love seeing very old family photographs like that.  My Aunt sent me this one today. 


We haven't been able to identify everyone in the photo yet.  However, pictured behind the bearded man who's sitting down, is my great grandmother, Bertha Rose.  This photo was taken in 1910, 20 years before her death in 1930.  The bearded man was her father.

This was such a fantastic find. All those years my Grandfather saved this photo, and then my Dad held on to it, and now us. I wish people would always identify people in pictures; you never know who will want to know someday....and I'm thinking the bearded man may even have been Bertha's Grandfather since he does look so much older than everyone else....no way to know...!
