a repost from When I Was 69...
Gone Fishing
I've shared these 2 photos before, among the few that were rescued from a fire my Rogers family (grandparents) had in Fort Worth, TX in the 1920s.
Annie Lou Rogers Wilson was my grandfather's little sister, both of them raised by an aunt and uncle most of their childhoods. But their mother moved from Walker County TX where they had been born, and lived the rest of her life in Galveston TX. And at times the children are listed on census records living with her, like the 1900 Galveston Census. Annie Lou would have been 25 in 1904. She didn't marry until 1906.
10-30-1904 Annie Lou's Skiff - I'm pretty sure there was also a sailboat attached to this dingy.
10-30-1904 on Hannah's Reef Galveston Bay.
These gentlemen seem to have a fair catch of fish on display themselves, don't they? I don't see anyone resembling a woman who could have been Annie Lou.
For Sepia Saturday this week, we've got a nudge to go out on a boat, or sit by the water, and perhaps catch some dinner as lovely looking as their gentleman has.
I shall be purchasing some salmon at the Tailgate Market this morning, shipped in from Canada.

Hang on to those old photos! They are in terrible shape, I know, and they hold special memories nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the actual photos, but am glad the digital version was available for me to brighten the contrast for this publication of them. I don't know if the original paper photos are still around anywhere.
