Garrett Gathering

Garrett Gathering
This is a real old picture from Mom's side of the family that looks like a Garrett gathering of some kind. Two of the men are cranking some churns - maybe ice cream churns. I'm not sure of the exact year, but I do know that's my Great Grandmother Ella Mae Garrett at the top right, looking off to the side and my Grandmother Martha Lolove Garrett is the girl on the right edge of the picture. Lolove was born in in 1903 and she looks to be around 4 years old in this picture, so it could be from 1907. Three of the people's faces are blurred and unrecognizable because they moved during the long exposure. This was most likely taken in Maunie, Illinois, as that's where these relatives were from.

I just love these old family photographs that show life from another era. There is some kind of stain along the top, left side and bottom edge of the image, but if I didn't clean them up, post them and keep their memories alive, who would?

Marta Wojtkowska, Elbertinum have particularly liked this photo
