VTT Orphan Photo # 58 Fanny Sawyer and her friends in their Fantastic Hats

Happy vintage Thingies Thursday... you can visit others at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/2010/03/vintage-thingies-thursday-history-in.html
Take a peek at one of the greatest vintage photos I have every bought. This one comes from an Estate here in the Houston Texas area. We have four beautiful ladies pictured in their fantastic hats.

Each hat from left to right gets fancier and then you come to number 4 and she stands out all by herself. Her hat is plain and if you look close you can see her bow around her neck matches her hat band. Each of the other ladies have bows around their necks also.

The photo identifies the first lady as Fanny Swayer . There is writing on the back in pencil that I can not make out sadly. , . I have other pictures of her posted recently.. take a peek if you like.

This one is of Fanny sitting on a beautiful horse and another horse standing by with another lady. She is wearing a beautiful dress and tops it off with a big hat. You can just feel her smile and happiness in this photo.

Orphan Photo # 55 Cabinet Family Judge Samuel Sawyer

Today's orphan photo is another Sawyer family photo from an Estate sale.

The back of the photo tells us that it is of Judge Samuel Locke Sawyer born Mount Vernon New Hampshire Nov 26 1813.

This is a piece of treasure with family information written. Sadly it has been given up by the family and does not tell us who he married or who his parents were.

Orphan Photo # 54 Vintage Photo Thomas Sawyer and his Gun and Birds

Here is another Sawyer family photo I bought at an estate sale here in Texas. Here we have Thomas Calloway Sawyer born February 10 1853 died October 30 1930. She is pictured with his gun and the birds he has shot. Stamped on the back is E L Cole Malta Bend, Mo. This was probably taken early 1900's.

The birds look like Quail but I am not sure. Great photo and sad that it has gotten separately from family.
