This is one of the two sisters my Grandmother had! 

I want two share my photos of my Great Aunts Lela Mindwell Giddings and another to come of Aurelia Marion Giddings.  They were my Grandmothers sisters and both died in March of 1887 of diphtheria, leaving my Great Grandmother with one daughter age 1.  She carried my Grandmother in her arms for abut 2 + years affraid to put her down for fear she would die too.  

I wanted to share this family photo of Aurelia Giddings with the community. Location: Macomb, Michigan, United States. Date: 1872.

What a pretty baby she was. My great-grandfather had a little brother who died of diphtheria, when he talked about it as an elderly man (my parents and I lived with him for two years before he passed away) it was as if it had just happened it left such an imprint on him.

You may wish to add the Died Young sticker on her profile. You can do that by putting this code at the top of the text under the Biography header:
