This is a photo of my dad’s parents, William Grace Lind and Jane Galt Montgomery Lind, who went by Jeanne, or Jeanie.
Willie was about 10 years older than his wife. Both were born in Scotland, and came to the US in the first decade of the 20th Century.
I’m believe this photo was taken somewhere around 1940 at the home of Willie’s older sister, Elizabeth (Bessie) Fairley.
My sister told the story of how they met and married. And I posted a copy of the letter Willie wrote to Jeanie dated June 7, 1910, discussing details of her upcoming trip to New York and then across the country by train to California.
They raised four children: William, John, Tom, and Janet. A fifth, Gracie, died when she was 3 years old.

nice pictures of your grandparents. It’s great you have the background story of them. I like their front porch of a bygone era. I like the white painted rocks reminds me of being on military bases back in the sixties.
