Myrtle Boyd
A photo of Myrtle Boyd with a killer pout. Myrtle obviously didn't want her picture taken. Check the giant tear on her right cheek!

08/2020 Update:
Sam M* contacted us and believes this to be Myrtle Elvira Boyd who was born in 1898 in Colorado. If the same individual, in November 1920, so 16 years after this photo was taken, Myrtle had a daughter Sarah who was born prematurely and died. In February 1923 Myrtle gave birth to Sam's father Samuel who had type 1 diabetes and Myrtle died soon after from complications of childbirth. Her husband Samuel then dropped Samuel Jr. off with his parents and never remarried.

Adorable little Myrtle Boyd with a big pout in 1904 - and is that a tear on her cheek? Who says taking a photo is quick and easy?
This is a fantastic photo!

All sorts of questions come to mind. She looks maybe 7 or 8 years old? I wonder how long into the 20th century she lived, how much of the momentous events she witnessed. What was her life like? A beautiful little ghost from the past, but a silent ghost who is keeping her secrets!

Look at her little waist - I'm surprised she's smiling a bit wearing a corset.

Hair has been called a woman's "crowning glory" - it's certainly been a mode of expression over the centuries.
In the 1800's, brushing your hair 100 times a day was a popular way to beautify it - but hair was usually washed only once a month. And shampoo wasn't invented until the end of the 1800's. For women, ...

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
