I'm joining "Vintage Thingies Thursday" with a couple different kind of vintage things! Check Colorado Lady's blog to see the others.
This is a picture of my Grandfather Joseph Wickersham. (My Dad's father.) He died of appendicitis when my Dad was 7 years old. (It was like a year before penicillin!!) I don't know the year of this photo. He was quite a handsome fellow wasn't he. He looks like a movie star playing a part in a movie about the 1800's!
This is my Grandmother Cora Wickersham. Knowing her as I did, this outfit was a little risque for her!! : ))
And then, guess who. This is me 40+++ years ago after graduating from Huron Road School of Nursing in Cleveland, OH.
Oh My. . .
They must have touched this photo up as I don't ever remember my eyebrows being so perfect!

Handsome family! I love how crisp your grandfather's shirtboard is and his hair- snazzy!
ReplyDeleteI love your grandmother's photo too- it does seem like it is a little risque to have her shoulders showing, but I think she looks terrific!
And your photo- you look perfectly coiffed and ready to attend to your patients!
I love looking at old photos, thanks for sharing today!
Your family pictures are so great!
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT and thanks for sharing those treasures! :)
I enjoyed your VTT showing today very much. I love looking at old photos and seeing how times have changed. You were a very pretty girl.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a hairstyle like your grandfather's. Actually, both of your grandparents' hairstyles seem to match the design of the frame.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteWonderful family photos. Your photo as a new graduate is fabulous. Sad that nurses don't wear uniforms like that anymore? ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteWhat great family photos! The old photos just hold a certain charm that new ones seem to lack!! Have a great VTT and thanks for linking in today!
ReplyDeleteMy! I love your grandfather's hair! And your grandmother's dress showed off her beautiful shoulders! Terrific pictures!
ReplyDeleteSuch great photos! My great grandfather also died of appendicitis, that after surviving losing an arm in a thrasher! Love that hair flip and the collar, and your hat is great.
ReplyDeleteWOW I love all the photos but the one of you is just beautiful. Have a blessed VTT. Vicky
ReplyDeleteHow awesome that you have your old family photos, I wish I had some of my family. And I agree with the other comment about missing nurses wearing the white uniform, at least back then you knew who was coming in your room.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh,how very handsome he was and your grandmother had the prettiest eyes and smile..and you were just drop over gorgeous. How sweet you look in your nurses cap..
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT, have a most wonderful weekend.
Those are great photos! Love Grandfathers hair-very stylish indeed. And Grandmother looks so pretty. Loved nurses in uniforms-looks so professional.
ReplyDeleteYou had beautiful grandparents. Isn't it wonderful to see them when they were so young?
ReplyDeleteYour photo takes me back to my time. The hairstyle and the makeup. All so "modern" then. Where did the years go?....
Very debonaire. And the ladies are lovlies too.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so wonderful! I loc=ve the vintage photos as well as the picture of you dear girl! Its is adorable!
