Wordless Wednesday: Mother and Infant: On the Threshold of a Dream



Mother and Infant: On the Threshold of a Dream, taken near farm in Duluth, Minnesota, c.1907. Photograph in Helen Julia (Hogue) Judson's Family Album, 1903-1907. Privately held by Herstoryan, Houston, Texas. 2009 [inherited from Lois Jacqueline (Judson) Wells, through her father William Levis Judson son of Helen Julia (Hogue) Judson of Dayton, Ohio]


Unidentified mother and child from an old Judson family album. Using the captions from the surrounding photos this was taken near the M. E. Richards Cabins near Kinney, MN. 


*I believe this might be Grace E. (Richards) Davis and son William R. Davis. Grace was the daughter of   J. William and Henrietta (Hogue) Richards. She married Ralph J. Davis.
