My great-great-grandmother, Maria Vaughan Jones (1837-1926) on the porch of her house on H Street, Crescent City, California, about 1906 to 1908. On the back she wrote in her spidery, old fashioned script, "I am waiting at the door for you." The house was built in 1874; she bought it in 1906 and died in it 20 years later. It remained in the family into the early 1970s, and I grew up in it. Starting about 1908, one of her sons and a couple of grandchildren started building additions until it was a rabbit warren of about 14 tiny rooms when I was a boy. View full size.
