Orphan Photo # 53 Fanny McCoy Sawyer By The Wood Shed Vintage Thingies Thursday




What a fun vintage photo I found this last weekend. Not sure I quite understand why she is sitting on a pile of wood by an old shed. Photo is identified as Fanny McCoy Sawyer. No city or state noted. I have some other Sawyer family pictures I picked up at this estate sale here in Texas. Will be posting them in the next days.

    I love looking at old pictures..I think I treasure family pictures more than anything else, and I always wonder..how and why do families let their pictures get away. Happy VTT..

    I love old photos like this. Oh, the fun you could have making captions for it. And is that a cat she has in her apron?

    There is an axe on that woodpile. Good thing she isn't Lizzie Borden! And what is she holding on her lap?

    What a great photo! And I really do wonder what the heck she's doing on top of that wood pile, lol! Maybe her pa put her up there for a size reference so he could show how much wood he chopped in an afternoon? The way ebay sellers put dimes in their photos these days? LOL who knows, but it sure is fun to take a guess. Happy VTT!

    Every time I pick up an old photo from an antique store, my husband's response is - "Who are these people"? I don't really care if I know them or not, I just find old photos so interesting.

    Love,

    I like looking at old photos. And I agree with you, I can't imagine why she would be sitting on a pile of wood!
