Treasure Chest Thursday - An Old Photo of Sarah McGinn

This is an old photo of my great-great grandmother, Sarah (McGinn) Meagher. Based on her outfit and what appears to be a bouquet of flowers in her hands, I assume this was taken on her wedding day, which means it would have been taken in 1897. I'm also assuming that the people beside her are her parents, James McGinn & Rachel Ellsworth. The picture itself is printed on some kind of glass-like material. 

The photo was kept by my grandmother. When she passed away, it was given to me.

Treasure Chest Thursday - Hjalmar Eden's Knife

My great-great grandmother's brother, Hjalmar Eden, made this knife. Hjalmar was an immigrant from Sweden. He moved to Idaho and remained there until his death in 1972. The knife is currently in the possession of my grandfather and still in very good shape.
