The Wasden Sisters
Can anyone date this picture, taken in Grandma and Grandpa Wasden's yard in Penrose. This picture probably came from Aunt Cindy's (Lucinda's) photograph album that Uncle Norman gave to me. Sofe was the oldest sister - looks like she is laughing at something, as are the others. Our grandmother was just a little below 5' tall - Mother was only 5'3", so you can see the comparative heights. Anyway, as in most families, these sisters were very diverse in their interests, families, etc. Both Sofe and Elna married very young - their husbands had been previously married - Alvin's first wife died in the flue epidemic, and Elna's husband was divorced. Mother married a cowboy, who had to figure out an occupation. His employment ranged from selling vacuum cleaners in Denver to doing carpenter work on the ranch in Sunlight to cooking for a sheep crew to farming, which was his last occupation. Aunt Cindy married a returned missionary, and they settled in Lovell, where he farmed and worked at the sugar beet factory. Mother went to college, and finally graduated in 1959. (Correct me, Ann and Judy, if that's not right.)
