Treasure in my inbox

Great, Great, Grandma Agnes Lindholm

 
Grandma Agnes, going to a DUP event
Have you ever been given something that just makes you giddy? That's what happened to me when this wonderful photo showed up in my inbox. What's the story behind this photo? Who is she? What is she doing? When was this photo taken? And why? Was it a special occasion? Or just a snapshot? These are just a few of the questions that race through my mind when I see an old photo. 

This beautiful lady is an ancestor that I have been researching and learning about. An ancestor that was just a name on a piece of paper. But the more I learn about her, the more  I love her, admire her courage, and respect the life that she lived. Agnes Smith Lindholm, my great, great, grandma.

Thank you Craig Lindholm for sending me this photo. It will be treasured and hopefully we can honor our dear Grandma Agnes with the stories will be sharing here on the blog in the near future.
