What I know: This photograph is from the collection of Joyce Mariencheck Klinck. The only certainty with this is that the woman on the right is Agnes Grace Ferrer. Beyond that, is all questions. Instinct says that the woman on the left is Agnes' mother, Gertrude McKee Grace. But could this be Bertha? As sisters, Bertha and Gert looked very similar. And other photographs of Gert from this period aren't quite this thin. The boys: Olin Ferrer and Donnie Grace? Or is that Tuck and Donnie? Then here's the really mysterious bit: Who was cut out of the picture entirely?! This photo was cut around the four figures and pasted onto black cardboard. If you look closely, a man's hand is seen on Agnes' shoulder. To be salacious, we've always pretended that this photograph originally included Edward F. Grace (Gert's husband and Agnes' father). After Edward ran off to New Orleans with another woman (persistent family rumor), someone cut him out of the picture - literally! Do you know who this is? So many cousins have duplicates of old family photographs! Does anyone have a duplicate of this picture - minus the hack-job, of course? |
