MYSTERY PHOTO
This photo was labeled Leo's grandparents. The label is in my grandmother's handwriting. I believe this might be in error and that the people in the photo are Leo's parents (Marie Clarinda Renaud and Reuben Baker). The photo taken by A. Benoit? Southbridge, MA - year unknown - NOTE: A. (Ademard) Beniot was a photographer on Hamiliton St. in Southbridge from around 1910 till around 1936.

Was this around 1910?
Description of men around 1900 -- "Gentlemen wore coats that had a narrow shape, with white shirts and high stiff collars. Accessories included a black bow tie or a narrow tie. They wore their hair short with large mustaches."

Description of women around 1900 "Fashionable women in 1900 dressed in slim skirts that flared out below the knees, with bodices featuring tight sleeves that flared over the hand. Their accessories included round brooches, watches, small earrings and combs to hold their hair back in a bun."
