My mother's mother Ruth Barry

My grandmother Ruth Barry was John and Annie Barry's first child.  She was born in 1892 in Clarksville, Texas.  Here are 4 photos of her: as an infant, as a toddler, as a schoolgirl and as a young woman. 

The Barrys had a maid/housekeeper, cook whose husband tended the yard and took care of the cars, repairs, etc. This was not unusual in that day and time.  But Ruth grew up not knowing how to keep house, or cook, because it had always been done for her.
