1880 Edward was living with Elizabeth parents do Farm LaborThe following narrative to the photograph comes from Sandra Bruce:
"E.J. and Betty (Farrell) Ripper's family. Our line comes through Willie, my maternal grandfather. Note Willie's crutch; I believe he had lost his leg (wagon wheel accident) at the age of 9 (b. 1887) or about 2 years before this picture was taken in about 1898."It can't be discerned very well, but the kids are sitting on the family's merry-go-round, which was carried on a wagon. As I understand it, the family purchased (or built?) the merry-go-round after Betty was diagnosed with TB, the only cure being fresh air and sunshine. To keep her outside, they travelled from town to town selling rides on the merry-go-round. I think by the time this photo was taken in 1898 their merry-go-round days were pretty much ended and Betty was cured."
Betty was diagnosed with TB, the only cure being fresh air and sunshine. To keep her outside, they travelled from town to town selling rides on the merry-go-round.
