This is a photograph of my aunts, Helen Dee McCuaig and Florence “Sandy” McCuaig, taken in Schreiber, Northern Ontario, Canada. Sadly, Dee died of tetanus after stepping on a rusty nail shortly after this photo was taken. Sandy passed away in 2005 at the age of 74.

This picture was taken on 2 June 1895 in Milwaukee, WI, for the baptism of Herbert W. Mayr. Included in the picture are Ida M (Winkel) Mayr, mother, Herbert W. Mayr, baptised baby, Michael George Mayr, boy in back, (my grandfather), Anton G. Mayr, boy in front, George Mayr, Father, and Otto Mayr sitting on his lap.
What a gorgeous christening Robe! A family of ancesters to be proud of Micheal.
Such pretty little girls Barbara. How tragic to die so young of an affliction that is preventable these days. I think by their suntan they were used to playing outdoors. I can see the line on Dee’s arms below her pretty dress. Margaret in Australia
