Oops - China - I always forget the ring finger is on the left hand   I've been in Germany toooooo long and always look at my ring on the right hand and forget to think the opposite for North America- sorry.

Who knows what is in her hand - I can't enlarge it enough to see anything.  Were women graduating from school with diplomas at that time?

Here is another unidentified picture which I would love to have dated please.

A nice cleaning would also be appreciated! 

Thank you very much,
Karen

Hi China,

There really isn't chimney but perhaps it broke or something   ?

I honestly don't know where to begin tracing Mrs. McMartin so I'm not sure that the directory would be much help.  I don't know her name or her husband's name and can't find any Mcmartin marriage to a familiar family name.

The photo album with this picture is the Bell/Collins family album.  I am only familiar with the Bell part but the intermarried Collins who have ancestors such as Prout, Gray, Upper and probably more that I am not too familiar with.  So far after a quick search I can't find any of those ancestors living in Quebec.  ARGG!

Thanks China,

What a relief    I can't wait to get a better scan of the woman!  BTW - yes it is a velvet jacket -  I do have a much larger copy of that picture to study!

Carolyn, your colourings are stunning as usual and you have certainly done them justice !! 

Very much appreciated,
Karen
