This may be our last clue for the California photos.

The Tallman’s July 1952

I have been shuffling theses old photos back and forth and forth and back trying to find more connections.  The above photo was with the others.
In a red leather photo books these were tucked inside with no identification.

I think that Clara Crozier and Anna St. Clair are in this photo with Mr and Mrs Tallman.(Sterling and Delores?)

Perhaps Edna St. Clair Walther joins the group.

Anna or Clara with Edna  ?? Maybe

Clara and Anna or vice a versa

Clara or Anna and a boy

A girl and a beautiful dog

Could these children be the Tallman children? Leon and Dianna?

  Yes, the above photo would have been taken 6 to 8 years after the 1952 photo.

I will make one more round through the photos, maybe I have missed something.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.

* I have more photos taken the same day a number of them with the girl and the dog.

Don’t know the first one.

Daisy – Picture Woman

Gene Wilson – Mgr of YWCA.  Our friends when we were going to buy the lots.  She wasn’t dressed – she had another meeting to go to.  Not a good picture.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.  Tomorrow we will take one last “stab” at finding a home for the Edith Walther photos .

Photo Number 1472

Some more California Party Photos.  From what was written on some of them the party took place at a Day Care Center.  I think they are are dressed as babies or small children..or most of them are…and why was it held in a daycare? 

Photo 1472 A

Edna Whitlow

Edna Whitlow – Book Store  + isn’t that a cute pose.  Look at her patched knees for effect only.

Beulah, Edna (Whitlow) and Earnestyne

Margaret Herron,  Marie Katich  and Edith Ennis

Margaret Herron – Owns Nursery (one of my farmers here in Gardena)

On a side note Edith Ennis was in the Soroptimist Group.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.

Photo Number 1471

There was a party in California.  Many women were present.  I suspect that some of them were Soroptimists like Edna St. Clair Walther.

It was some kind of a costume party..I think.

Photo 1471 A.

Myrtle ( Klagas) + Dr. Guidinger

Look at the freckels she painted on.  She is the one that said “I knew that Eddie would come like this” and just howled.  Va. (Dr. Virginia Tyler) + I crawled in like real babies.

Photo 1471 B

I will guess that this is them with Eddie (Edna Walther) on the left and  Dr. Virginia Tyler on the right…I think. 

Photo 1471 C

Lenore Strumm,  Edna Clayson, Myrtle Klagas

The back of the photo tells us that Lenore Strumm was a Manager at a dress shop S. A or is that an F for S.F.

Edna Clayson again

Myrtle Klagas Owned a Beauty Shop

Thanks for stopping by!  More party pictures tomorrow.

Photo Number 1470

Perhaps some of Edna St. Clair Walther’s friends have the answers.

In 1956 Edna became a Past President of The Torrence/Gardena Chapter of the Soroptimist Club.  The ceremony was held in a Torrance Restaurant.  Margaret Neff was the incoming President.  Murial Morse from Los Angeles and Past President of Soroptimists International was the installing officer.

Soroptimists are a global volunteer organization working to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment.

Muriel Morse, me (Edna Walther), Winona (most likely Winona Ellis). Mary Pajac, Margaret (Most likely Margaret Neff)

Maybe another clue or two about the California photos.

16803 something my guess is Gardena California in 1955 (16803 Halldale Avenue)

In 1956 they get company.

Edna and Martie

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.

Photo Number 1468

Maybe one more hint concerning the California photos.

Paul and Henry.  Just a thought could they be brothers?  Hairline and foreheads are similar..and height.

 

 

I wonder what Paul drove?

Maybe a Studebaker Commander from 1950?  It looks like it has a California License Plate.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again

Photo Number 1467

These are more California photos.

This is marked Knotts Berry Farm. I believe this is Edna.

Martha Walther ( I believe this is Henry’s Mother)

This is Hank with nails in his mouth fixing up the wood shed for the rabbit house. We’ll send you a picture later of the finished product.  Do you have one of the shack it was?

Some of these photo may be photos that Edna and Hank sent to his Mother Martha? or some other relative?

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again

Photo Number 1466

Edna St. Clair married Henry (Hank) Walther someplace along the line.  They visited/moved to California in 1952.

Just arrove June 8, 1952

Henry (Hank) and Edna

On the back of this she noted to look at the huge 4 o’clocks behind them.
