Friday Fotos (October 24, 2014) -- Everett and Ruth Carpenter



Last Friday an opalotype of my maternal grandfather and his older sister was featured here for Friday Fotos. This week I continue sharing some of our recently rediscovered family photo treasures and feature another portrait of the siblings, Everett and Ruth Carpenter.

The portrait of Ruth and Everett shown above was taken perhaps a year or two after the opalotype posted here last week. Both of the siblings look slightly older and are dressed in more mature looking clothes. I figure this undated photograph was taken around 1894 to 1895 when my grandfather would have been 3 to 4 years old and his sister would have been 5 to 6 years old.
