Quondam Tuesday

Quondam /kwondem, that once was; sometime; former, bygone, past, old-time, erstwhile

What a beautiful word. It fits well.

I have discovered so many photographs that are old and full of memories. I want to showcase them somehow. I have many of my past and many of relatives lives as well. I thought how fun to have one posted now & then, maybe weekly and write a bit about each one.

Hence the beginning of Quondam Tuesday.

I am going to begin with this:

The Gang~ June1911

This photograph was taken in June of 1911 in Galurrias Texas. (I can't find this town on today's maps but I believe it to be just outside San Antonio). It is the friends of my Great Grand-Mother Beulah & Great Grand-Father Frederick Rahmann.  The back of the photo mentions it was taken after church services, a dinner at her friend Kathryn's home. Granny is front and center, in the white dress. Fritz is top row, first gentleman on the left.

Fritz & Beulah Rahmann Wedding August 1911

 This is their wedding photograph, taken nearly one hundred years ago.
How splendid to have this photograph. My Granny loved to share history.  My Sis paid more attention & is better at knowing our history. I just love the photos.
