Wonderful another photos with a Sprague familie member, you really have some great old photo, and I just enjoy very much looking at old photo.

I feel when I do look at old photo the tell a story of the past, like today everybody look more the same. But I think at the time there was a big difference of rich and pour.

Also I am impressed people never smile. Cute little girl in the front wonder what become of her.

Thank you for sharing this great photo

Thank you. I have a lot more to post but slowly getting there. I enjoy these as well. Samantha "Mantie"  is a sad story. She married a man named Martin Peterson. Two of their children died young and she herself got ill and died. Then he scandalously married his wife's niece Winnette, who was the daughter of Hubert and Callie Sprague (the couple in the back). They didn't have children and Winnie died from TB at a young age.

I shall certainly be looking forward to more of your amazing photo, and follow your family. Oh a scandal, was very hard in those days.

I was sad you read about Samantha (Mantie)

And two children died, oh that is really terrible loosing children is the worst thing that can happen to parents.

And the husband married the niece of his first wife.

What a drama that most have been in the old days.

Thanks again for sharing so interesting story.
