I was told that she was a few months along in this picture and was wearing the wide belt to try and conceal her pregnancy. Her grandparents were sending her away and she did not want to go.

Edith reached beyond that photo with her body language with the solemn look on her face. Oh what a sad day it was for her to have to leave behind what was so familiar to her. To be pregnant and to be sent away. I wonder what she was thinking...Did she have the opportunity to tell you? <br /><br />She is a symbol of many young ladies that had to be sent away...Thank you to her and I honor her.<br />Root Diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078852616599847109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307549969092451973.post-11019378459557097892014-01-12T06:49:29.640-08:002014-01-12T06:49:29.640-08:00This is a great post filled with loads of informat...This is a great post filled with loads of information.
