Great-Great Aunt Lily never took a husband, but *did* take a picture with a mystery woman… (1910s)
My grandmother’s Aunt Lily (left) was born in 1890 and lived to be 81. She never married and my grandma said there was always much speculation at family reunions about Aunt Lily’s…proclivities. (Classy, I know.) I’m guessing this photo was taken in the mid to late 1910s.
This picture was shown and later given to my grandma by her uncle/Lily’s brother. He said he found it after Lily passed and he claimed he had no idea who the woman on the right was. He said that his other sister didn’t know either.
My grandma still hasn’t found another picture with this mystery woman and doesn’t think she’s a relative. She also thinks she could’ve been more than a friend. BUT if any of you know more about the topic of photos taken in the 1910s and/or queer history, *please* leave a comment or send me...
