My Trails into the Past

This is my first time posting for Sepia Saturday . The theme is school days. Here is a photo of my mother-in-law, Thelma Nilsen, in the first-grade class at school in Hilmar, Merced County, California. The only way I got the photo of her class is because her cousin, Ken Lundquist, was also in the class and this photo came from his family records. The reason her family did not purchase this photo is the little girl whose head is bent down is Thelma (see the middle row). So a lesson learned--seek out others in the class to locate photos you don't have. I'm not sure which boy is Ken--definitely one of the blond-haired boys. Copyright © 2023 by Lisa S.
