<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 30320, member: 23"]My feeling about my g-grandmother's photo is that although the baby is totally limp, as if asleep, the eyes are open so I'm certain it's dead. My mother said Emma had a nervous breakdown after each child was born (today we'd call it post-partum depression) and my g-grandfather would put her in an institution. Finally, she never came out. She spent the last 17 years of her life in the institution. I'd say having to pose with dead babies might have done it. There were five children who lived.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
