Frances Trulock at 1956 Montreat conference



This appears to be summer, but may have been September, 1956.  Montreat Conference Center, North Carolina. Presbyterian women in the B.W.W., Board of Women's Work.  My paternal grandmother Frances Andrews Trulock is seated second from left.  I tried to decipher her handwriting, which was never an easy thing to do, but in this case was complicated by the age of the ink on back of the photo. I think she later had her front teeth capped.  She was 55 years old at this time (turned 56 on December 21, 1956).  Did most middle-aged people back then look this much older than people of the same age look today?

Gift left in Jewish section of cemetery, 9 August 2015. The visible headstones belong to (left to right) Samuel Katzenstein, Blanche B. Katzenstein, Josephine B. Kornfeld, and Joseph Kornfeld.  The initial "B" stands for Bluthenthal.  Samuel Bluthenthal (1833-1917) is the resting-in-peace patriarch of this extended family plot, which has several Maier and Baum graves in it as well. Some were born in Europe and died in Pine Bluff. The Kornfelds were born in Pine Bluff and died (in the 1950s) in New York.
