Blanche and Geo Lee with a baby.
And a name at the bottom which I recognized. Max Hird Full Circle 79
Geo Lee = Blanche Lee
Not sure how the Lee’s fit in with Max Hird. BUT I recalled that Max Hird was raised by Lester and Mary Treganza

Mr. Thos. Treganza
I emailed Erin that I had some photos that may have some connection to her Grandfather Max Hird. Yes she wanted the photos and I mailed them off on Monday morning. I will write a Full Circle post for these photos after Erin receives them and has a chance to reply.
I believe these photos were sold at an auction and wound up in the antique shop. Originally I contacted another relative and she wanted nothing to do with the photos, perhaps she was cleaning out “old stuff” I don’t know. What I do know is that any old photo of a relative might be important to other relatives even if you don’t give a hoot. Whatever you don’t want…pass them on.
Thanks for stopping by.
Update from Iggy:

Since none of my mom's family is living, it would mean so much to me if I could get photos. I would not recognize people in the pictures but would recognize names I believe. Sad that for one reason or another, no one wants old photos.

ReplyDeleteSometime betwen 1930 and 1940, they moved to Mallory, Clayton, Iowa.
Going by Blanche's Find A Grave memorial - if they were related to Max Hird, it appears to be through George's side of the family.
So happy someone did want them.
ReplyDeleteThrilled to hear these photos have found a new home and will be treasured for another generation.
ReplyDeleteIn this digital age, I fear future generations will care less and less about old photos.
Aw...got my hopes up! I saw George Lee and realized there is a George Lee in my husband's extended family. But no...it looks like Lee is way too common a surname for that kind of luck!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a home for those photographs!
ReplyDeleteTired Teacher is right! How much of a family's photographs are completely lost when a cell phone is smashed?
There's going to be nothing caught in the safety net of the junk store or the auction.
