In praise of grandmothers

Frank family little girl

 

I found these photos of my maternal grandmother Katie Frank and her family while going through old family documents. They were probably taken between 1910 and 1925 judging from the clothes and the car (a Model "T," I presume). Some have the names marked on the back but some do not, like this photo of a cute little girl to the right, so I'm hoping someone in the family (Pearl?) can identify them for me.

As you can see, the photos are deteriorating with time so I thought it best to get them scanned into the computer for posterity. Hope you enjoy this look back in time!

Katie Frank and Mary Annetta (Hicks) Frank

This is my grandmother Katie Frank on the left and her mother, Mary Annetta (Hicks) Frank.

Ella Frank, left, and Katie Frank

That's Katie Frank on the right and her sister Ella on the left holding an unidentified baby.

Louise, Katie and George Frank in a Model T

That's Louise and Katie Frank in the back seat with George Frank at the wheel.

Frank family unidentified

This one is not identified. It looks like Uncle George Frank but can't be sure.

Frank family unidentified baby

A cute but unidentified baby.

Frank family man on Diamond Rock Hill

Again, this looks like Uncle George Frank or maybe Uncle Earl standing next to the house on Diamond Rock Hill.
