say "cheese!"




The sad thing is that Carrie seems to be wearing the same dress in both photos.

The bottom photo has always been printed with no date. I am going out on a limb by suggesting that it was taken in 1888.

The first graduating class (from the 10th grade) was in 1889. There were four members of that class: Neva Whaley, Alma Davies, David Davies, and Florette Bonney. All four are in the bottom photo. I have never seen a photo of just those four. It stands to reason that they would probably not be in such a group photo after graduation, so that suggests 1889 at the latest, but most likely 1888.

Neva was two years younger than Carrie Ingalls.
