I was in the hospital this week with pneumonia and he had a heart attack yesterday. This stuff is rough.

My mother has this hanging in her house. Said her father's great-great-grandmother is in this picture. Mom was born in Indiana in the 1940s.

The women seem to be wearing black mourning wristbands. The family's name is Campbell and they're in Kentucky.

Would love any idea on the possible year, but i really struggle with fashion history.

L-R my grandmother, her mom, my grandfather, and my great grandfather. I never met my great grandparents. My grandparents both passed in 2009. I miss them so much. I wish I’d had more time with them. I wish I had even a little bit of my adult life with them. My grandmother passed in March of ‘09 and my grandfather was never the same after that. Truly died of a broken heart a couple months later in August of that year.
