This is my grandmother’s second cousin Esther. She was born in Martin Co., Minnesota, in 1892. Esther married her husband Ed Golden, who is standing next to her, in 1922. She died in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1997, almost 105 years old.

Relatives to Esther have posted photos of her on ancestry.com. When I saw them I realized that Esther looks quite a bit like my aunt, who lived until she was almost 102. I can also see myself, and other relatives, in her.
