Ellis Album

Black Ellis Album #1, Page 20

 

This album page features two photos of my great-grandmother, Blanche Octavia Huband.  Each photo showcases what were likely fairly ordinary moments in her rural life.

 

The first photo includes a horse.  The caption reads, “Mrs. Claude Ellis & Nig.  North Ogden Feb 10 – 1918.”  It appears “Nig.” is an abbreviation for the name of the horse.  I am so curious about the full name of that horse!  Hopefully, a cousin will know the answer and enlighten me.

The second photo displays a rather large haystack, and if you look closely, a few chickens on the left.  Seeing Grandma Ellis next to that haystack creates a new visual for the old saying about finding a needle in a haystack!
