These tintypes are of, my great, great, great grandmother, Louvina (Mitchell) Call (Left Photo=Center, Right Photo=Right) and her brothers, William Mitchell (Left Photo=Left, Right Photo=Left) and James Mitchell (Left Photo=Right, Right Photo=Center). I have tried to enhance these so that they can be seen better. The photo on the right has clearly had a rough life! It is rippled and scratched and very damaged. One thing that I really love is, in the right photo, there is an arm, on the right, that is holding Louvina up, so that she doesn't fall over. If you would like to add anything please comment...
I swear when I look at old photos, I can see people they remind me of! thanks for sharing ;)
William's hair is so funny!! Poor mom, trying to get it to stay down for the photograph, and his hair sticking right back up!! lol
hotkitties: A lot of my my current (living) relatives resemble most of my old photos, it's so cool!!!
Esther110: I also noticed that! This was a strict family too, I've heard a lot of stories.
Louvina, the little girl in these two, would not let her kids go barefoot. I've heard that from the moment that they stepped out of bed, they were to have shoes on.
