Great-nanny and great-grandaddy 1928.

My great grandparents Ralph Vernell Campbell and (Myrtle) Hazel Cyrus. A studio portrait most likely taken in Lynchburg Virginia sometime in 1928, the year of their marriage. At the time they were married, Ralph was only 17 and Hazel 18. Their first child, my grandaddy, was born in 1930.
I love Hazel's gloves and Ralph's ascot is just great. Neither of them came from money in the least. These were their best Sunday cloths to be sure.
