Mother and Child: 1915

The lady is my great-grandmother, Elise Hindermann Fallon, and the baby is my grandfather, Larry Fallon. I would have tagged this for New Orleans but it could have been taken either at their house in New Orleans or my great-great-grandfather's (Elise's father-in-law) house in Pass Christian, MS. 
My grandfather was an only child and his parents eloped. Elise was actually disowned for a time but, since there are pictures of her father with my grandfather, I believe they made up. I think that Herr Hindermann didn't want her marrying an "Irishman", even though Paul Fallon was 1/2 German on his mother's side, born in the U.S, and from a family with money. View full size.
