Otis Sanctuary - Family Pictures

Fred and Luella had a large family as was common in the Otis family known for their fecundity far back in the Vermont/Quebec days.  In 1910 they posed for photo. I note how the women all wear white, and managed to keep it immaculate looking having no modern washing conveniences; clearly they were better skilled at doing wash than many of us nowadays. Robert was born a year after this photo was taken.

Circa 1949 the family at the farmhouse. Bob is seated on the ground in front. They are in the same positions as the 1910 photo! That can't be accidental.

And here is Bob's 1929  high school photo, followed by Millie's from 1932.
