Description

Photograph of Hallie Maud Thurman in a white dress standing in a chair and a baby sitting in a chair while wearing a long white dress that runs to the floor. To the left of the baby, a woman's arm can be seen supporting the child so it does not fall. We are making a guess as to the last name of the toddler in this photo based upon her first name, other photographs we have in our collection that belonged to Hallie Thurman, and information taken from census records. We are guessing the baby sitting beside her is a child that did not survive from Elizabeth (Betty) Thurman's first marriage to Hallie's father. Later census records list her as having had 2 children, with one surviving. Hallie was born on April 18, 1881 in Limestone, Texas.
