Hooper Squires Photo Archives Treasure #6 
This lovely photo taken at Niagara Falls has writing on the back as it was a postcard sent to Mr. Edgar Hooper from his sister who was on her honeymoon at the time. I assume this Edith Hooper and her new husband Joseph Camm, as they married on September 10, 1910
 
Sept. 19/10
Hello Edgar, How is Ettie? Hope she is better by this time. We are well and having a pretty nice honeymoon.   Will soon be home. Your loving sister

    Do you think it is really a picture of Niagara Falls, or a photographer's studio backdrop?

    Definitely a studio backdrop. I didn't make that clear that they were no doubt in Niagara Falls for their honeymoon but this is a studio photo

    Thanks for catching that!

    Very nice series of posts, Lorine. I sure wish I was a descendant of the family! I'm so glad there were enough people in your family who cared to keep them so that they eventually will make their way to further preservation.

    I have a photo of some of my children's paternal ancestors who had their photograph taken with a Niagara Falls backdrop that I'll have to dig out. They lived in Niagara Falls at one time.

    Thanks for sharing!
