Charles and Grace Lamberson Hackleman set up housekeeping at 28 North Ritter Avenue in 1901. They likely enlarged the small cottage and then built their dream home next door at 34 North Ritter Avenue in 1904. In this photo, likely taken around 1903, Charles Hackleman can be seen with his daughter Helen and an older neighbor girl. If you look closely, you can see a female figure at the far left of the photo.

This lovely cottage still stands today and is beautifully maintained. The home looks largely the same today, although a rear addition was placed onto the home in the 1910s.

You know, I've never seen the woman in that photo before!! The little girl is my grandmother, Helen, but the older one must be a neighbor girl. Perhaps the woman is her mother. Margaret wasn't born yet. I should have said, when I sent the photo, sorry. Wonderful post!! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen!!
