Ada Grimshaw (in the middle) picnics with friends in Perkinsville or Springfield Vermont abt 1900. www.adamaygrimshaw.blogspot.com i love the "surrey with the fringe on the top" in the background. This also looks like the box lunch auction at the end of the movie Oklahoma.

Ada Grimshaw abt 1890. Taken in Springfield, Vermont. I believer that they often cut children's hair if they were very ill and wonder if this is why Ada has this very cropped style. I think I remember reading that cutting hair when a child was sick stemmed from a belief that hair "sapped your strength" but in reality it could have been just a practical way to stop the snarl of tangles from a long time lying on a pillow. www.adamaygrimshaw.blogspot.com

Photo taken of a photo - one of a pair -sold in their original frames. Identified as Grimshaw by Ada Grimshaw's daughter but further info not known. I'm guessing this is 1870s - 1880s. Anyone who knows about costume have a more informed guess?
