My parents pose
 |
| May I introduce my father, George Elmore Rogers, Jr. I will give honor to his life in another post. |
 |
| My mother, Mataley Mozelle Webb Munhall Rogers
Look for more about her life HERE.
There are more pictures of my father on that posting as well.

These are studio portraits of my parents, way before I came along. I don't know the cause for their getting these pictures, but they did attend the same high school, Jefferson, in San Antonio, TX.
The pin in his lapel is called the Cross and the Crown, which is an emblem that Christian Scientists identify with.
"B... Studio of San Antonio, Texas," is a confusing name in the lower right corner. Buider? Baider? Bieder? whatever...
My mother's hairdo with a Marcel wave, has a lot of 20s influence. She was born in 1917, so by the time she looked like this, it was definitely the mid 30s. They were married in 1936. I didn't see any pictures of them together before '34.
This is a contribution to Sepia Saturday, where lots of fun and old (or maybe fun or old) photos are shared. I can't follow the theme for this week, so am just sharing some pictures that are interesting.
I'm submitting this for the first Sepia Saturday of 2020...similar hair style! But not the similar smile!
Lovely old photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks...I was glad that the prompt reminded me of these!
DeleteHello, lovely photos of your mother and Father. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteThey sure were a good looking pair of young people!
Delete...a beautiful mother and a handsome dad!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Tom...I was very proud of them.
DeleteI love these photos. Handsome dad and beautiful mom. Truly lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robin. They live on in my memory like this, as well as their later years.
DeleteYour mother was gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes she was. Thanks.
DeleteYou absolutely matched the theme! Well done. I am fascinated by those Marcel waves.
ReplyDeleteI will be reading your blog tomorrow about those waves, can't wait!
DeleteI like your mother's smile better.
ReplyDeleteShe (like me) was a bit shy of showing her out-of-allignment teeth.
DeleteWonderful photos of your parents! Your mother's hair perfectly matches the prompt, and I love the colorization on your father's photo. Look forward to future posts about them both.
ReplyDeleteYour father looks like he was a fun fellow, and your mother looks so sweet. They really look like they go together! :)
ReplyDeleteYour mom's photo is a perfect match for the prompt. Love the colorization of your dad's tie.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful portraits.
