This photo is the only known photo of Frederick and Rosetta Weiss. Everyone I know who has a photo of them has this one.
My Grandma was young when her grandparents died but she does have some memories of them. She says her grandfather was a little man (as is evident from the photo) and a very godly man. She remembers him sitting in a comfortable chair, with a lectern with a big bible on it. She didn't like having to give him a kiss because of his hairy beard! Grandma remembers her grandmother as quite tall with a lovely happy face (also evident from the photo).
This is the only other photo I have of them (from Rookwood Cemetery):
What a wonderful photo - thank you so much for posting it! First time I have "seen" my great great grandparents! (Although I had previously visited their grave pictured above.) My great grandmother looks most like her mother, Rosetta, though shorter like her father. Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteA great photo... they look quite content with each other... you don't always see that in older photos.
ReplyDeleteBeing content with each other in old age - its quite something for every marriage to aim for, isn't it!
