This beautiful photo is affixed to the inside cover of the Old Ellis Family Photo Album. Grandma Ellis labeled it as:
“Luella Orton
Blanche Huband”
Blanche is my great-grandmother and the creator of this photo album. She was born in 1895. I asked my GrandAunt Claudia, Blanche’s daughter, about Luella. She shared that Luella was a friend. If you are a descendant of Luella, please let me know, I would love to know a bit about her.
What a beautiful photo of Grandma Ellis, she is so lovely. I especially love her hair – it’s so pretty and soft around her face. And that sweet, subtle, barely-there smile, so much to love in this photo!
Here are the first two pages of the album to give context for this photo:
This post is the first in a series as I share this wonderful old family photo album. You can learn more about the album here.
