Aunt Mamie at Yosemite



There is another, earlier post on this blog about my Aunt Mamie and her trip to Yosemite.
Here are two more photos from that trip.  It was about 1928 or so, and I am pretty sure
Aunt Mamie and her husband Cecil Bellah were on their honeymoon.

Meanwhile, in California....



Mamie King, the eldest daughter of Maggie Atwood, was born in 1892.  She moved to Los Angeles, California in 1926 to work as secretary for a man she had been working for in Fort Worth   He was in the oil and gas business somehow.  About 1929 she married Cecil Bellah, an electrician for a movie studio.



Cecil particularly loved fishing and camping outdoors.  they spent their honeymoon camping at Yosemite National Forest.
