After the Stroke, 1960

This is my great-great grandpa and grandma Keeler in Miami around 1960. He just had a stroke. Grandpa Keeler was a doctor who brought his family to Miami from Perry, OK, by automobile in 1914, which his daughter, my great grandmother, chronicled in her diary. And according to my grandmother, his granddaughter, he was the first one in Perry, OK, to have glass windshields on his car. Another interesting story involving him is he was addicted to morphine; so for a week he went into his garage and didn't leave until he was sober. I wonder what he did in there. View full size

You're right!

Hey Isaak, you're right, even my mom saw this and called me out on the time when the photo was taken. It was more like the 1940s. I guess I had a hard time placing the photo because she looks the same in all of them. Also, the more I look at the quality of the photo and the car, it becomes clear it's not 1960. She did dress that way though until she died in the 1960s.

My grandmother dressed like this until she died in 1970. She even had the same stockings.

1960?

Looking at the clothing, and the car in the background, it seems unlikely that this was taken in 1960. Or?
