Myrick-Fortune ancestor

This is a photo of your great  grandmother Carrie Ryder Myrick and her cousin Carrie Delaney taken in front of Carrie and John's home in Palo Alto.  Carrie and John Fortune are the ones that started all of you Fortunes...Carrie married John whose previous wife died and left him with 7 kids.  Together they had your Grand father Fred who married Lillian and had your Dad.  Also Carrie and John's other kids were all the South Dakota cousins.

We have never seen this photo before...it was sent via e mail by a distant cousin of the Lucy Myrick lineage.....met her a few years back...that is her relative with Carrie in the pic....Carrie Fortune is on the left.  Look at those shoes!!!!!

PS...in letter from Helen Pratt, my internet correspondent
"Yes, Carrie E. (Myrick) DeLaney (1863-1944)would have been a Grand Aunt to me, Helen (Hughart) Pratt. Carrie was an older sister to my Grandmother Ida Mary (Myrick) Hughart. The father of Carrie E. (Myrick) DeLaney was Lucius Oscar Myrick. Lucius Oscar was the son, and fourth child of Joshua and Lucy (Jackson) Myrick.  Lucy A (Myrick) Ryder was the third child of Joshua and Lucy (Jackson) Myrick. Lucius Oscar and family lived in Minnehaha County of South Dakota, I would guess that the two "Carries" met and became friends when Carrie (Ryder) Fortune and her husband were ranchers in South Dakota.

Carrie E. (Myrick) DeLaney, and her husband james DeLaney (1861-1945) moved to Palo Alto, don't know when, and died there.

The two Carries must have known each other there, and no doubt visited back and forth."
