Well folks, I tried. I wanted to chase down the identity of the woman shown here, draped in a flag, but was unsuccessful. Is this Grandma Goodrich (variant spellings), Goodrow (variant spellings), Goodrum (probably are variant spellings, but I could not think of any)? Members of the Goodrich and Goodrow families are dispersed throughout Texas, but.... If Grandma Goodr[?], was 93 in 1918, she was born circa 1825. Within the families mentioned, I found no one who fit Grandma's dates.
Is she celebrating Independence Day? Was she possibly standing outside watching a parade, when someone snapped this photograph? Or was Grandma simply cold?
The ambiguity of the event shown in the photograph allows us to use it as a Fourth of July celebration artifact. Have a safe and happy Holiday! Pat and the rest of the Passed Time staff
P.S. While researching Grandma, I came across the incredibly involved Goodrich Family Association website and their quarterlies. I've included a link to their site below.

PermalinkUnder Alessandro Michele's leadership, Gucci's aesthetic has been transformed into one of replica handbags abundance. In just a few short seasons, he's rendered a remarkably vivid world in which embellishments and details are layered one on top of another, creating a depth of both texture and thought that has found immense appeal with both fashion tastemakers and shoppers around the globe. Michele continues this nascent tradition with Gucci Cruise 2017, which takes many of its aesthetic cues from animals. Gucci is perhaps more well-known for incorporating elements of celine outlet the natural world into high-end luxury than any other fashion brand; from the iconic Gucci Bamboo handles to the house's signature floral prints, the brand's aesthetic ideals have long gone far beyond the glossy cities where its wares are most often purchased and worn. For Cruise 2017, Michele expands on those ideas, adorning the collection's bags with everything from bees to Bengal tigers. We teamed up with Gucci to explore the animals in the brand's Cruise 2017 collection, which is in stores now. Check out our exclusive photos of each of the animals below, along with other exquisitely details pieces from the oakley replica sunglasses collection. Alexa Chung recently attended the Guggenheim International Gala Pre-Party in NYC wearing jeans (gasp!) and carrying an LBD (little black Dior). Her coat is also Dior. I think people were more incensed that she wore a transparent shirt with no bra, but yawn. Jeans at a gala, though?
