Huh? When did they go to Washington? And, why? Who did they know in---oh! Grandma's brother Charlie lived there with his wife Elizabeth.
Aunt Fron looks to be about 16, so this would have been 1935 or so. The child on top of the ladder was probably Charlie and Elizabeth's adopted son.
This next picture is, I think, the women who cooked for a threshing crew (their husbands). Back then, harvesting was done as a team--8 or 10 neighbors got together and did all of their fields over a few days, while their wives and daughters prepared huge and amazing meals for them. Evidently, 'nectar' was big that year...lol A better, clearer explanation: it was a Hesch Wedding in 1920.
Grandma is third from the left, standing. This could have been the 30s or 40s, judging by their dresses. Does anyone have a clue who the others are?
