On the back of this photograph is written “Gladys Foster date uncertain The Tall one.” Even if the picture had not identified Gladys, I would have recognized her. I date this picture around 1918. I have another photograph of Gladys with her niece and nephew which was taken in 1918. Gladys’ hairstyle and dress are very similar in both photographs. Since she was born in November 1905, Gladys would have been 12 or 13 years old around the time that this picture was taken.
I have no idea who the other girl is. My gut tells me that she is related somehow. Her features have a familiar look. However, I don’t really know any girls in the family that would fit. So perhaps the other girl was just a family friend. Maybe someone will see this picture someday and recognize the other girl. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I am looking at my pile of 1930s photos on my desk and just picked up one of either Mark or John and thought wow that really looks like me or the kids.
What a terrific photo. I just zoomed in on mother’s face and asked David “Who is that?” He replied, “Deb.” I also zoomed in on her shoes! Instruments of torture.
I don’t recall ever seeing this photo….very interesting to see mother at that age.
I have some pictures like that—mystery people! Two children at my parents’ wedding whom neither of my parents can identify!
Oh, that’s almost worse because you would expect that they might have been able to identify them.
