I found a scan of an old slide my father took long ago. Here is my great-grandmother Hadassah, "Hattie", Hartell. The toddler sitting in her lap is my brother, David. I had not been born yet when this picture was taken. She did live long enough for me to meet her. She was born in 1876 and died in 1965. She was a DAR member. I decided to post her picture when I read that she married my great-grandfather, Albert Conrad Hartell, on this day, November 28, 1900. This would be their wedding anniversary if they were both still alive! (123 years ago from today.) I have a vague memory of meeting her when she was living in a nursing home, and I was very young around the age of 5.
