The other women in the newest Britta picture

Check out the picture of Britta Ann Green Flynn here and from the previous post. There are two young women on either side of her. From the fashions that those women are wearing, I've dated this first picture to about 1917. 

Now take a look at the picture below:

Note the high neckline and the cinched waists. To see similar young ladies' fashions, look at this link, which contains an illustration from a 1908 dress pattern:

Which dates the picture to around 1908 - 1912. 

More importantly, can you see the women's resemblance between the first picture (ca. 1917) and  the second picture (ca. 1910)?

The second (ca. 1910) picture has positively been identified as Carrie Drusilla Edins and Bessie Beatrice Edins. Carrie Drusilla Edins was born in 1896. Bessie Beatrice Edins was born in 1890. Both were born in AL, the children of Simmin Aaron Edins and Mary Drusilla McGuire. 

In all the pictures, the women look to be about the chronological ages that the genealogical paper trails and fashions suggest. In the first picture (ca. 1917) Carrie was about 20, Bessie about 27, and Britta Ann about 80. The second picture (1908 - 1910) was taken when Carrie was about 14 and Bessie was about 20. And they look like it. 

Nice.

These young ladies are Britta's granddaughters. Notice Bessie's high forehead. Remind you of anyone?
