1895

This picture was taken in 1895 (or early 1896).  On the left is Marie McCoy, in the Middle is Raymond Michael McDevitt and on the right is Grace Dunlavey.  Raymond McDevitt was my grandfather. He was born 08 Dec 1894 and he looks to be about 12-18 months old in this picture.  Marie McCoy and Grace Dunlavey were his cousins.  They both appear to be about six or so months younger than Raymond. Because of the drapery over the chair, I wonder if their mothers (or someone) was hidden in the background holding thise little girls upright on the arms of the chair. Grace Dunlavey later entered the convent and was known as Sister Mary Grace.
