What a beautiful photo. Any idea when this was taken and how old she was?

None, but I do know Ella Belle (love her name) was born in 1863, My guess is that she was pre-teen so I would also guess it had to be sometime in the 1870’s???

Thank you! I love it! I am told that this part of the family was wealthy, hence the fancy pictures. Lucky for me! lol

I love all the old photos that you share, each one is so beautiful and momentarily transports my soul back in time as i look at them. This one is particularly beautiful! How special you have all these mementos from your family.

How fantastic to have a picture of your great grandmother. Not sure many people can say that. Do you know how old she was in this pic?

She was born in 1863 and I suspect her to be preteen, so this had to have been taken in the 1870’s.
