Elsie M. Walker (1885-1885)



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.
