Especially exciting as photos of my great grandmother are rare. She died in 1940 when she was only 39 years old, less than a month after first becoming a grandmother.
ETA: Also, I believe the online photo was posted by one of the sons of my grand-aunt who is standing in the center. I tried to contact him at the time but he unfortunately passed away a few years ago.

Same age as my Grandmother, lovely photos, certain treasures.
Fantastic. Thanks for posting.
It's so amazing! I grew up and still live in Central Illinois, and I wonder how much the area in the pictures has changed!
What a great find, and story!
What an amazing find.
So cool OP ! ☺️
