Della Maude Cheney is my 2nd great-grandaunt. She is the daughter of Joseph Thompson Cheney and Louise Maria Austin, my 3rd great-grandparents. This photo is a postcard that Aunt Dell gave to my great-grandmother, Blanche Octavia Huband. It was cut down, but a portion of the note from Aunt Dell is still visible:

She really is beautiful. Interesting that the postcards were all cut down. I have a few but they are all in their original shape.

It’s amazing how beautiful the women in your family were and are. They certainly loved the camera.
Thank you, Cathy! 🙂
