A collection of miscellaneous family photographs compiled, in no particular order, of a family from Michigan from roughly 1910 until 1970. Many of the photos are portraits and posed shots of family and friends around the house and in the yard as well as school and work photos. A few photos show uniformed men from the 1940s and 1950s, one of these shows a man posed by a car with a rifle. A number of photos of young women are seen throughout the album, including one particular young woman hugging and goofing off. One photo shows her posed in a bathing suit on top of a car, another large photo shows her in her graduation cap and gown.

The final page shows a group of candid color photos from a 1970s dinner party. An interesting collection of photos showing a Michigan woman and her family over 60 years.…
