Mother’s house

black-woman-girl-thinking-white-cartoon-writingEntry from Journal #1, September 26, 1930

I dreamt of my dear Mother this morning. She came back to her house that she toiled and slaved to her liking before she took sick. She started cleaning it up and found it so wrecked and dirty since she left and I helped her scrub it the same as always.

From Mary’s photo collection . . .

Back of photo reads: Mrs. Eva Rumping [standing just inside the front gate] and her house, Marysville, Montana. Taken about 1895 or 1894. Mother planted those trees.

Uncharacteristically for Mary, this photograph is not dated.  However, her daughter (#50) appears to be about 8 years old so I would date it around 1909.  Characteristically, there is a “key” on the back of the photo (see image below).  Those names are transcribed at the bottom of this post.
