Travelers

I found this old photo in my Mother's things after she died, it has no markings on the back so I would guess it had something to do with her family. My Mother was raised in the San Angelo Texas area and her Mom's people were down around Beeville Texas, so this could have been some of them traveling to visit.

Bruns or Bredhoft Relatives?

Bredhoft or Bruns relatives from Germany? This photo was found in grand aunts possessions, we assume it is a good bye or voyage photo because of the cloth and twig in hands. Does anyone recognize outfits?

Recognize the clothing? German?

Smallwood Double Exposure

Photo taken by G.S. Smallwood: A double exposure "spirit" photograph of a girl holding flowers, surrounded by "spectral" faces of four people.

You may look at this and just see a double exposure. But this kind of "spirit" photo (often purposely faked, not accidental) was very popular around the turn of the 20th century. Photography was relatively new and spiritualism was very popular. This photo would have been seen as proof that the girl had three spirit guides around her, protecting her.

Hazel Vincent & Vern Burtleson, Oklahoma

A photo of Hazel Vincent & Vern Burtleson - Mutual, Woodward, Oklahoma ca. 1908. The back of the picture postcard says: "Hazel Vincent & Vern Burtleson representing Japanese." I find it interesting to see photographs of our ancestors dressed up in a costume.
