And last, but not least, in honor of Mother’s Day, here’s a photograph of four generations of mothers.
This is a photograph of my mother and aunt (twins), my grandmother, great grandmother, and great, great grandmother taken in March 1919 in Syracuse, New York. The twin infants are Rita Barrett Wiesnet (1919 – 2005) and Ruth Barrett Lord (1919 – Living). Holding them is their mother, Mary Salsbury Barrett Russell Meisner (1897-2002) yes, lived to 105 yrs! Behind her is Mary’s mother, Sarah (Sadie) Hanley Salsbury Petch (1875-1934), and on the right, Mary Gillen Hanley (1855-1922)
