Bernadette age 8+, Frances age 4+, Anna Lou age 2+, Rosalie age 6 months. Bernadette with arm around Rosalie, other hand displaying two rings, one hers, one mine (Frances). Frances pouting because photo man kept hollering at us, as he wanted the one shot to be good. Anna Lou with a big smile, while her Mama was in a stew because she went to sleep in the sled or wagon, and sweat all the curl out of her hair. Rosalie giving a salute always happy, only a little of the lace on her underslip shows, that Mama made for me (Frances) for my first dress. We all had happy days while in North Dakota.
