Photo History
CAPTION:
The picture is that of my grandparents.
Jacobo Santiago Sanchez & Clementina Gonzales. The
interesting thing about this picture is that it is a
composite. My grandmother's picture was taken from another
picture and superimposed with the one of my grandfather.
The
original is about 14 x 20 and is painted so it appears to be like
an oil painting. I don't have an exact date of the picture
but can assume that her part was taken in 1907 and his part was
taken in 1908. She died in childbirth at age 15 1/2 June
1908. The picture was done so that my father would have a
memento of his parents. The next part that is interesting
is
that the pictures already on the web site - John Gonzales would
be her half brother. Clementina's father Santiago Gonzales
married the lady listed as Arcadia Gomez in 1906.
