Here is a photograph from the Geraldine (Seaver) Remley family collection handed down from my Aunt Gerry in 2007 after her passing.
This is my grandmother Alma Bessie (Richmond) Seaver (1882-1962) in a striped dress and white tennis shoes and a white necklace. This 1949 picture is pretty much how I recall how my grandmother looked the only time I met her in 1959.
There is a young lady in the picture next to the automobile, and I don't know who she is. Perhaps one of my cousins will know who it is when I share this photo with them at Christmas time.
I wonder why this picture was taken in this setting. Did they stop at a rest stop or picnic area? My guess is that Aunt Gerry took the picture.
Update: My colleague, Susi Pentico, thinks that the shoes are "white oxfords" rather than "tennis shoes." I have no clue, of course! Susi also thinks that there is a man next to the young female in the background. I think she may be right - although it may be an older woman whose arm and dark pattern shirt are visible but his head is turned away from the camera.
