Our third visit with the Douglas family in Takoma Park, Maryland: Zilpha Minnie Childs Douglas (1859-1960) and her children Helen (1885-1987) and Willard (1887?-1960). The photographer was Edward Morehouse Douglas (1855-1932). It's interesting to note that the ladies here lived to be centenarians. View full size.

The genetic endowment of females of that line is extraordinary.

Banjo

There was a bit of a banjo fad in the 1890s, what is now sometimes called classical or parlor banjo. Bluegrass wouldn't be invented for another 50 years.

I love the ladies' cotton dresses. Zilpha looks so much more comfortably and informally dressed than my relatives appear in photos taken around the same time.

"A gentleman is one who knows how to play the banjo, but refrains."
