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.
