It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.
We celebrate Mother’s Day this Sunday with a four-generation image from c.1900 featuring three mothers and a future mother.
The baby is Aileen Laidlaw sitting on the lap of her mother Carolyn Knox Laidlaw. In the back is grandmother Ella Potter Knox and to the right is great-grandmother Caroline Potter. Four living generations are more common today, but were rare around 1900 when life expectancies were lower.
We hope all mothers have a wonderful day on Sunday!
Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
