My 3rd great grandparents, Matilda and Perry. Matilda was Ojibwe, her mother survived residential school in Quebec. They lived in Keweenaw Bay, Michigan and were very active in the community. Grandpa made furniture. During a terrible smallpox outbreak he donated furniture to the hospital and Grandma made and donated 17 loaves of bread. In this photo, their children Hattie and Elva are pictured, and Matilda was pregnant with Luther. They had 9 children in total. Taken in 1893

Mom looks thrilled.
The man gets to sit
I lived on the Keweenaw Peninsula for 5 years. It takes a hardy person to survive up there, especially in the 1800s.
That’s a great picture. Your grandpa looks like Little Alex Horne!
