Also, was this photo taken in a cemetery?
| I've had this photo for years. I know, based on a similar photo, that the girl in the middle is Ethel Waters, my Great-Great Aunt. But I didn't know who the other two girls were... until now.
I was just looking through photos when it occurred to me, the girl on the left is Aunt Alma, Ethel's sister. I don't know why I hadn't seen it before, but now it's so obvious.
So if this is a photo of sisters, it stands to reason that the third girl would be the third sister, my Great Grandmother, Ruby Waters.
I had to pull up some photos of Ruby to compare them, because I just didn't see it off the bat. But after reviewing the photo below, I've decided that the girl on the right is indeed my Great-Grandmother! Yay!

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the girl on the right is my Great-Grandmother. A cousin says that it's a friend or maybe a cousin, and she's likely older than my Great-Grandmother would have been. I still think a lot of the features for the girl and my grandmother are similar, so I'm betting on a cousin.
But, I did identify my GG-Aunt Alma, so there's still a plus side!
