I found this small, loose picture in the photo album kept by my Great Great Grandparents Charles and Anna King. On the back it identifies the silly teens as a young lady by the name of Emma ? (15 years 8 months old), my Great Grandmother Emma Lavinia King (age 15 years 5 months) and Harold B. Earl (age 19 years 8 months old). The picture was taken August 6th or 16th in 1903. Also unknown is whether this was taken in Grass Valley, or in San Francisco. The family was living in Grass Valley in 1900. They lived through the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire in 1906.
What I love about this picture is that is shows my Nana's playful and silly side with her friends. They look like they are having fun trading hats and having their picture taken. I would love to know who took the picture. Someone trying out a new camera?
This picture was also in the same album. The fence is the same as in the upper photo. I believe this is Anna King pretending to climb the fence.
This is the same fence! Charles King tries his poses.
Just a small, fascinating glimpse into the antics of the King family and friends on August 16, 1903. It looked like fun and games!
