Mary Jane Long McLaughin (1828-1920)


Aunt Mary circa 1908
From the early 1900s: My 2nd great grand aunt Mary Jane Long McLaughlin. My mother's great-grandfather's sister, Aunt Mary was born in Illinois in 1828. She moved to Troy, Kansas, where in 1847 she married Harkness D. McLaughlin and raised six children. Sometime between 1900 and 1910, long after Harkness had died in 1874, she moved to Los Angeles to be near family. She died at the ripe old age of 92 in 1920. I'm not sure if I'm looking at the past or at my future in this pic. Long live the Aunt Marys of this world!
