Theodore Sanchez and Patricia Melhus were my great-grandparents, but I never met them. They were married in Renville county, Minnesota in 1901. I just received their marriage certificate in the mail yesterday. I had ordered it as part of my proof for my DAR lineage.

Wordless Wednesday: Another Schoolroom

This is another 1910s schoolroom. It said Juanita Sanchez on the back. She was my Grandpa Don’s sister and was born in 1906. They lived in Minnesota. A good portion of this postcard-type picture was ripped off. I am not sure if she is actually in the remaining portion of the picture or not. I love looking around at the things in the background.

A portion of this postcard-style picture was torn off. On the back, it says Pearl Sanchez, Atwater (in Minnesota). Pearl was my Grandpa Don’s oldest sister. She was born in 1901, so this was probably taken around 1910 (just a guess). I think that she may be the girl in the very front (closest). I am not sure, but she has the Sanchez look to her.
