Heirlooms: Restored Barcomb Picture
My Mother gave me this picture of her maternal grandparents several years ago. There was no frame and half of the picture has reversed itself- so one half is convex and one half is concave. I looked into having it restored and the estimate was $500-$600. OUCH. No can do- that’s a lot of money. So, I ended up having a copy made and having the copy restored. Cost- $60. 
Ahh, much better.
Pearl Mullen and Hubert Barcomb
This is their wedding picture- she was 14 years old and he was 16 years old when they married sometime around 1914? 1915? 1916? Not sure of the correct date off the top of my head but I do have it written down somewhere.
THE ORIGINAL (now stored carefully away in the top of my closet)
THE NEW COPY- Doesn’t it look great?
“Bert” and Pearl had one child- Marvel. Marvel Barcomb went on to marry three times. Her first husband died after getting a tetnus shot. Her second husband ( Corporal Carmen Catania) was killed in action at Okinawa on May 10, 1945. Her third husband was Lyle Johnston. Marvel and Lyle’s second daughter was my Mother, Joanne Marie Johnston. So Bert and Pearl are Mary, Nathan and Savvy’s Great Great Grandparents.
