On the back of this photo is written (in my grandmother's handwriting): Madee ('mother') took this plane in 1927. She would have been about 70 at the time.
An intrepid traveller, she lived to 97 years, buried on her birthday 5 Nov 1955 in Syracuse, Onondaga, New York. Clara Augusta "Gussie" "Madee" GRAVES m. James "Grove" Grover TERWILLIGER on 2 Oct 1879, Syracuse, Onondaga, NY.
What a wonderful photograph to have in your family history! Your great grandmother sounds like a very interesting woman who lived life to the fullest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a trailblazer! Having an image from her adventures is so special.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! It has me curious about why she was flying in the 1920s (seems like such a rare thing back then). She must have had somewhere to go!
