Mother's Day ~ 52 Ancestors #19

I am participating in this year's 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks writing challenge from Amy Johnson Crow. Each week has an optional writing prompt and this week's writing prompt is Mother's Day.

I recently visited my mother's sister and she had the following photograph framed on her wall. I did my best to scan it using my Flip-Pal scanner.

The woman in the center of this photograph is my great-grandmother, Ethel May (Greeley) Copeland (1875-1931). Daughters Elizabeth Sewall Copeland on the left (born 17 March 1903) and Ruth Lyman Copeland on the right (born 8 July 1907).

(Perhaps this was taken when my grandfather, the girls' older brother Lowell Townsend Copeland, was away at school in the mid-1910s; or perhaps it was just a mother-daughters photo session)

A later photo of Ethel is at Ethel May Greeley. A yearbook photo of great aunt Ruth is at Ruth Lyman Copeland-Her Yearbook Entry.
