Emma Keilocker, my Great-Great-Grandmother


Emma Keilocker is my grandmother's maternal grandmother. She and her sister Rose made taffy with the kids when Grandma spent summers in Rasselas - the same taffy that my grandmother made us when we were kids.

These are fascinating photos, and amazing background. Any idea on photo dates?

No. She died in 1949, but had left the farm years before, I think even before Joe died in 1946. Since she's on the farm in the photo, it has to be before that, but not too much more since she's elderly. Early 40s? That's my best guess.
