A Women's Society Photo


The original photo is part of a private collection.  Click here for the other records of Robert Wilson, and Orpha May Spencer.

The three link symbol in the back ground looks like the Odd Fellow Lodge symbol.  They probably rented out their hall for other society meetings as well though.  

I know Orpha was a member of the Gold Star Mothers, and Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War.  I heard Robert was a member of the Odd Fellows, so Orpha may have been a member of the Rebekahs. 

Unknown Police Department Photo

The original photo is part of a private collection.  I am not completely sure who originally owned the photo.  I also don't know what city this photo was taken in.    
 There is no writing on the back.  It was in a photo album at my grandmother's house that has been in the family since 1907.
 The house is in Redondo Beach.  My grandfather told me his grandfather was a Police chief in Flint, Michigan.
