All photos
Description:
A photo of my maternal Grandmother, Anna Byers McNally. with work place friends. She emigrated with parents and sibs from Germany in 1882 when she was 6. They settled in Penn. and got into the silk mill business. Anna was evidently in charge of a processing room from a picture we have.She met my grandfather, Ernest V McNally,from Conn. who also was in the mills . Married on 07 and moved to Belding, Michigan where the Belding Bros mills were set up. My mother, Helen McNally was born there and her brother, Valentine was born in Penn.After the silk Mills closed in the early 30's the couple managed the Hotel Belding until it closed in early 40's.Don't know the theme of the photo.
Date & Place: at Uknown, in Carbondale, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania United States 18407

"Irish friends from work" - I wonder if they were manufacturing the original Kewpie dolls?

Kewpie dolls were first manufactured in Germany in 1912 and were made of bisque. it wasn't until WWI, when the war affected Europe manufacturing and trade, that American Kewpies were made. They were made of a composite material.

What the ladies are holding might be dolls, but not Kewpies if this photo was taken before 1912, and certainly not made in the US before about 1916.

I would think they are holding religious icons (Saint So-And-So). Notice that at least one of the girls are wearing crucifixes.

I wonder if it's mother holding the mother doll and each daughter holds a baby doll the others are close friends from work. A cherished picture of family and friends?

There is a convent and nursing school near Carbondale - could be that the ladies were admitted to the Solidarity of Mary
