 - I think it likely that this was around the same time as the following pictures however she marked her album.



Her mother, Mozelle Miller Webb and Mataley, 1924, the year Mozelle remarried Fred Munhall

Fairy princess, probably the same year as pictures above, thought it is marked 1926


1929 House on Lafayette, San Antonio (Mataley was around 12 but looks much older to me.)

Don't you love the kids peeking out the window!

Bridesmaid before 1936


Wedding Announcement, 1936

That's probably the San Antonio River.

Probably a photo that she wished had been destroyed, but somehow survived through the years.

I haven't copied many other pictures of my mother that were taken during my adult years, while she became a grandmother.  So there are lots of images in my mind that I don't have here to share.  I hope you enjoy this glimpse into her life, which ended in 2003.
