My Grandmother's Family - a photo on Flickriver

My Grandmother's Family

            An old photograph of my grandmother's sisters and brothers.  Back Row-L: Myrtle, Rosie, Johnny, Bell, Eleanor (my grandmother), Florence, Lizzie.
Middle Row-L: kneeling-Sarah, baby Fernie, Aggie, Mary.
Front Row: Sandy (Alexander).

Their mother, Agnes Tait (Red River Settlement) died three days after giving birth to the next child.  The father, Henry Folster, kept the family together with the help of the older girls.  Both Myrtle and Florence died of galloping consumption (TB) in their early 20s.

It would have been remarkable to get a photograph like this taken at that time.  It is a treasure.

My grandmother, Eleanor Folster, married Arthur (John) Turner.
