Emmett, Michigan 1903. My decendants, clockwise from top: Cecilia Cogley Donahue, aged 33 (b. 12/15/1870, d. 9/30/1963); Cecilia's grandmother, Bridget Fogarty, aged 82 (b. 1821, d. 3/27/11); My paternal grandmother, Mary Alma Donahue Breen, aged 5 (b. 11/28/98, d. 11/10/82); and Cecilia's mother, Katherine Brennan, aged 56 (b. 1847, d. 1938). Cecilia married Michael Donahue, a dentist, who graduated from Northwestern Dental School in Chicago. This must have been rare, considering the life expectancy when this photo was taken. My grandmother looks to be about five years old in the photo. View full size.

Old ancestry

Wow, did others of your ancestors live that long? That is pretty impressive, especially for the women having been born in the 19th century!
