I share this in hopes someone will be able to identify the special old photographs in this very old album given to us by my husband's Aunt Marcia Ritter Wilson many years ago. She purchased in an antique store in Kansas, I think, and thought it looked so familiar to her but she didn't think it was relatives of ours at all.
Years later after the death of Aunt Marcia we realized it looks like the photo album that is pictured in the old photo of her grandmother, "Maw" Ritter who was mother of her father, B.T Ritter. Recca Jane Ritter was her full name. She was Osborn before marriage
.
Below is the photo of my husband's Great Grandmother Rebecca Jane Ritter maybe before she was married. A photo book like this one is right next to her elbow on the table. A funny side story about this photo is that when the Simpich family helped me move from the apartment at Bob and Jan Simpich home where Nana Nick (Brenda Ritter Nickson) had hung this photo in the stairway, several in the family thought it was my relative because they had only seen older photos of "Maw" Ritter and thought of her as the tough old farmers wife who could yell across the back forty of the farm! Maybe someday I will get the photo posted of her in her winter fur coat later in her life.
