In yesterday's blog Genealogical Letter from Keith G. Walker (1894-1980) to His Cousin May grandpa Keith wrote about his sister being buried "in either Downs or Beloit, I am not sure." This is Elsie, this is her picture. She was born June 29th, almost eight months to the day after Keith's parents Henry Martin Walker, Jr. (1864-1952) and Lucy Mae Chesley (1866-1940) were married. She died December 3rd. My mother told me this was a post-mortem memorial picture the Victorians were fond of having taken. I have no way to confirm that.
