Look Alike

L-R, My ggrandfather, Tom Rock, unidentified girl, my grandmother
Agnes Rock (Murray), my ggrandmother Ellen Harris Rock and Hilda Rock
(Lang). They are standing in the yard of their home in New Jersey
about 1915. Ellen died later this year of breast cancer. Hilda was
Agnes' younger sister. They both married during the next year, 1916,
Agnes was 26 and Hilda was only 16. I've always thought that I
looked like Agnes in this picture.

I love this picture. It looks like real life, as if they all just came out of the house and got a picture taken on the spur of the moment.

And you do look like Agnes in this picture--a lot!

I am so excited to see this photo since we have visited their burial spot. Like Lindsay said... it makes it real life- real people! People that I will meet someday.

Wait.... now I can't remember. We sent you the photo of the cemetery in NY. I don't remember who it was now. Do you still have that photo we sent and am I thinking of the right people?

I agree with Lindsay. There is a strong resemblance between you and Agnes.
