Found Photo: Ruth Esta Grooms of Oklahoma
Name(s): Esta Ruth Grooms
Date: February 2, 1909
Location: Mountain View, Oklahoma
The handwriting on this one was difficult to decipher, but I think I finally did it. The text on the back of the photo reads:
For Grandma
Esta Ruth Grooms
Aged 3 mos 1 wk
Taken Feb 2, 1909
The photo was taken at Barker Hobart Studios in Mountain View, Oklahoma.
The baby in this photo is likely the Esta Ruth Grooms who is found in the 1910 census with her family in Dill, Oklahoma, about a 45 minute drive from Mountain View. Her parents were Frank H. Grooms and Ida P. (maiden name possibly Inlow). Her siblings were Harold Grooms (b. abt. 1905) and Clarence Grooms (b. abt 1907). All family members were born in Ohio, except Esta, who was born in Oklahoma. This reflects the family's recent move to the state. Frank was working as a farmer in 1910.
Esta married Harry Farrar and moved to Albequerque, New Mexico. There, they had three daughters, Ruth Ann Farrar, Anita Mae Farrar and Betty Jo Farrar, and a son, James Farrar.
This photo card was found in an antiques shop in Auburn, California.
