Ruth Paulson looking angelic, circa 1904

Ruth Evangeline Paulson (1899 - 1996)
Another homemade portrait picture of little Ruth Evangeline Paulson. While she looks quite angelic in this picture, family rumor suggests that she was a spoiled brat (as Ruth, herself, would confess many years later with a laugh.) Based on Ruth's  apparent age, this picture was probably taken in 1904 or 1905 when Ruth was 4 or 5. The family was living in Davenport, Iowa at that time.
