Renae Grubb sent me this photo of her grandmother, Gretta Agnes Ruth Good. Renae writes, “The photo is stamped “Campbell, Calais, Maine”. I have no idea when she was in Maine. I’ll ask Aunt Francine & Uncle Ernest. Somewhere I thought I was told she was 16 years old in this photo so that trip would have been 1916.”
Photo and text submitted by Renae Grubb. From left to right: Elbridge, Gretta, Helen, Cliff, Ira & Ethel Good
The front of the postcard: “Easter Greetings wes___ group. Can you find the missing one. Spring is here. No crocus yet. Snow fast going off. Gretta nearly 7 years. Mar. 23, 1907 Yours ? ABG (Agnes Bassett Good)”
Renae, “Does anyone have any suggestions of the missing words or corrections?”
The back of the postcard reads: “Mrs. J.P. McAuley, Apohaqui, K. Co. N.B. (Kings county, New Brunswick) ”
Renae, “Mrs. J.P. McAuley is Adelia McLeod who married John P. McAuley. Adelia is Agnes’ youngest sister. Oh, the messy handwriting listing the names belongs to my Dad, Harry-Jae Elder. He wanted to make sure names were listed on the backs of the photos.”
The farm scene of Helen, Gertrude, Agnes and Gretta Good doing the chores Fillmore, Sask. Submitted by Renae Grubb who says, “Wow, my Grandma (Gretta Good) sure had a thick head of hair!”

I had a nice visit with my Aunt Francine (Elder) Ormiston (my Dad’s twin sister) from Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan on Monday, Feb. 16. She has loaned me the small brown photo frame with photos of George Leonard Good, (son of John Good & Hannah McLeod) & wife Charlotte Merritt Slip (daughter of James Slip & Phoebe Merritt). George Leonard Good born 14 Sept. 1831, died 29 Dec. 1890 and married 21 Jan.1857 to Charlotte Merritt Slip born 4 Dec. 1836 and died 9 Sept. 1885. They had one son, James Elbridge Good, my great grandfather.
I remember this little brown picture frame always sitting on my Grandma Gretta (Good) Elder’s bookshelf in the living room. Now Aunt Francine keeps it on her bookshelf. Charlotte’s photo is on glass & George’s photo is on tin stuck to glass. Rather strange each photo was done differently. That’s why George’s photo is darker. Then each photo is framed with a decorative tin frame.
