Inez Rosella Luce ~ 1868-1899
Inez Rosella Luce was my grandmother on my father’s side. She married Eugene Rodolphe Hornot in New Orleans, Louisiana, they had three children: Celina, my Aunt Cenie, Eugene, my father, and Roger. Both my grandmother and little Roger died in the great flu epidemic. She was only 31. My Aunt Cenie died in her late 90’s and my father lived to be 100 plus a few months. There is something about the pink in these flowers on her dress and little purse that really touches my heart.
Please be sure to stop by Beverly’s How Sweet the Sound to see all the many lovely pink posting for this Saturday.
How lucky you are to have the photo. Too bad she did not live long enough for you to know her. How sweet her dress and bag are.

I love this vintage photo of someone you would have loved I am sure. I too love the pink flower and the little history of your family I'm glad your dad survived the awful flu. 100 plus is amazing.

Wow, you are so lucky to have her photo in such wonderful condition. Love the pink that has been added. A very Happy Pink Saturday to you and thank you so much for stopping by, Char
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful photograph. My grandmother also died in the flu epidemic in 1918. She was only 26 and my mother at that time was only 4 years old. It is so sad that we did not get to know them. I too am lucky though that my father will be 100 this year!
