Mary Frances Earp standing in front of a new 1941 Ford. The date is legible on the license tag and is written by hand on the front of the photo. It would have been taken somewhere around Stroud (Lincoln Co.) Oklahoma.
This is a family history blog. It is the story of the William A. Earp family, who homesteaded in Oklahoma Territory, and their descendents and those other pioneer families whose lives intertwined with theirs...Martin Van Buren Wright, George and Mary Jane Deal Earp Ewing, William Cornelius Flatt, and more.

I love this picture of the matriarch of the family in her dark framed glasses, long dress and stockings. The car is a 1941 Ford bought brand new by her son and our grandfather Huey Earp.
ReplyDeleteI found this photo in our mother's old photo album. There are several others with the new car. One I love is of our mother Opal posed on the front fender in a rather alluring manner. ha.
