Original photograph from the King Album.
Welcome Family and Friends to 2022!
Today I am sharing this photograph of my Great Grandmother Emma Lavinia King Hayes Van Duzer (b. 1888 St. Austell, Cornwall d. 1974 Grass Valley, California). It is from the King Family Album. Date and location are unknown, but the picture was probably taken either right before or after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and somewhere in the Bay Area. Emma is on the right, an unknown girl is on her left. This picture may have been taken by Lester Hayes, who later married Emma in 1908.
Above photograph, enlarged and enhanced for more detail. I would love to know why these faces are so sour!
I have posted this photograph before (July 11, 2021); the young woman on the left looks like the same girl from the top photograph. She may have been a very close friend or a relative. Her name and relationship to my Great Grandmother remain a mystery! Their smiles are playful and beautiful in this photograph, which may have been taken a few years before the above picture. From the King Album.
The next three photographs are a series of pictures taken of a young woman, who I believe is the same young lady in the buggy with Emma. They may have been taken by Lester Franklin Hayes. He had a photography studio at 3818 22nd Street in San Francisco after 1906.
From the King Album. She may be the same girl riding in the buggy with Emma. What do you think?
Same young girl with hat. From the King Album. I shared this picture in a previous post on July 24, 2021. I believe my Great Grandmother made this hat. The Edwardian blouse and skirt are stunning, and were most likely hand made also.
The same young woman. From the King Album. She is a mystery.
I will continue to post photographs from this album in the future. It is a treasure trove of family history!
