My grandmother, Sarah Dumont Ten Eyck Bishop.
I don't remember this photo being taken, but it was in my grandparent's kitchen nook. It is the only photo I have of us together, and this was probably when I first met her. I was brought up in California and she was living in Connecticut.
Sarah Ten Eyck left Dunham, Missisquoi Co., Quebec to attend a nursing school in the United States. I believe it was in Florida, as that is where she met my grandfather. They married in New York City and settled in his home state of Connecticut. Fortunately, she was the attending nurse at my birth in Connecticut.
She died shortly after this photo was taken, of lung cancer.
Many years earlier (1919) my grandmother was holding my mother, born in NYC.
