\"AliceVertefeuille\"<\/p>\n

Last week’s photo<\/a> which had a number of names scrawled on the back, turned up some interesting information. Lisa, a woman from my hometown, led me to her family’s Facebook page.\u00a0I was able to identify one of the women in the photo as\u00a0Parmelie\u00a0Vertefeuille.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pouring through more of their family albums, I found a group\u00a0portrait taken in 1916 and spotted the name Alice Lajeunesse\u00a0Vertefeuille, wife of Alfred. One of my cousins recently mentioned that our grandmother had a sister named Alice, I began flipping through my stack of photos and found this shot of Alfred, Alice, and their daughter – another mystery solved! Thanks Lisa!<\/span><\/p>\n

I restored the photo – the original scan is behind the cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
