Rose Halverson with her mother and their white dog in Chicago

My Grandma Lilly gave me this picture a while ago. I believe this would have been  taken on a visit back to Chicago after Rose and George got married and moved out west. I will have to ask my grandma  - I don't think this picture was taken before she was married to George Halverson.

This picture must have been taken by George Halverson, husband and father to Rose and Harold. The picture was taken next to the house as the road going by their ranch house can be seen in the background.  I believe Harold was born in 1908 so a guess as to how old he is in this picture would be 20 years old or so which would have been in 1928.

I am unsure what kind of car is pictured.

I talked with my Grandma Lilly today (September 9, 2014) and asked if she knew what type of car this would have been.

Lilly said that the only car she remembers Harold owning was a nice blue and white convertible. She thinks that George and Rose bought it for Harold. There may have been one payment for which  Harold had to earn the money. 

Lilly said that she remembers a canvas material on the back of the car  and if one looks closely at this picture one can see some sort of material on the back of the car so I believe this is the same car my grandmother remembers.

It appears the top of the car is white and perhaps the back panel may also be white. The rest of the car must be blue.

Of interest, is that after Harold and Lilly were married they converted the car into a truck so that they could put boxes in it to haul things.

This picture was most likely taken on the homestead on Irvine Flats - I'm not sure what homestead. Harold and Lilly had their place near the orchard and then there was the George Halverson homestead.

Georgie, the baby, was born December 11, 1933 and looks to be about nine months or so.
