This is the oldest photograph I have.  It is of Myrtle Welsh, my Grandmother.  This is circa 1903.  I never met Myrtle, as she died before my birth (1948?). Her and Harry Welsh married just before WWI.  Harry was in the trenches and exposed to gas attacks.  He returned with severe respiratory problems and died when my Mom was still little.  Myrtle was born and raised in Chicago.  From what my Mom told me, Myrtle was much like her, outgoing and warm.
