Grandma Alger – circa 1910
There is a trace of a smile on the face of Grandma Alger as she sits with her children and grandchildren.
The family is posed outdoors, at the edge of a lawn or garden.
No other family member is identified, so it would be extremely difficult to find Grandma Alger.
The place is not named, and there is no studio mark on the reverse of the postcard photograph.
The photograph was made circa 1910.
The older woman seems proud and contented to be with her family.
