"Nan is already a spoiled child" wonder what that meant to the source of the line?

More about "spoiled" Anna J. Gallant (1902-1936): sevensteeples.com/gallant1.html She was mother to Maurice Roy Sears (1920- 1985), and wife to Carroll Ernest Sears (married 1922). She only lived to age 34, but there are photos of her as an adult, on the fourth page of the same website: sevensteeples.com/gallant4.html

pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) That's a great story, thanks for finding it. After seeing this poster from Hines: I'm thinking that perhaps the "spoiled" description is not the modern definition of spoiled by pampering, but a more general sense of decayed, or marred, induced by the soul-deadening work.

O__O

Bessie C. Merriam was involved in a society divorce reported in several 1913 New York Times articles. Her husband (Charlotte's father) was Captain Henry C. Merriam. Major Clarence Murphy was named as a correspondent. Henry accused Bessie of trying to shoot him and poison Charlotte.

pennylrichardsca: Thanks for your identification of the people in this photograph. They are probably Bessie C. Merriam and Charlotte, wife and daughter of Captain Henry C. Merriam. We will update the source data and reload the description.

this is all SO very cool!!

It looks like they're weaving rugs and coverlets on jack looms.

This is indeed awesome...like peering back through a time machine.
