The next photo album belonging to Esther Durfee has now been scanned. By this time she was Esther Durfee Crews. Photos of many people, sadly no photos of Esther are located in the album. These photos cover the time frame from about 1919 to 1923.

It is believed that most of the photos were taken in Bieber, Lassen County, California. There are of course exceptions to this and they are noted when found.

Today’s photos are of Grace Durfee. They were taken about 1920-1923.

Grace Durfee, Bieber, Lassen County, California

My grandmother, Esther Durfee, was a budding photographer while living as a young woman with her parents in Bieber, Lassen County, California. Her father, Thomas Jefferson Durfee was the postmaster there over many years. When young Esther got her first camera she seemed to have made it her mission to photograph every person within the community, or so it seemed! The first photo album has had all the people who were identified in it, scanned.

Today I would like to introduce you to my great aunt, Grace Durfee. Photos taken about 1917 (could have been 1918).
 Grace went on to marry Fred Wemple in 1922 and then died shortly after having given birth to twin girls in 1923. These photos are all we have of Grace Durfee.
