Wish I had asked her more questions when I was a child.

About not liking to be to photographed -- maybe she thought she wasn't attractive or that her photographs didn't turn out well or truly represent what she looked like. It's frustrating to want to get to know an ancestor and have so little information. Does your grandmother know any more about her?

I have many ancestors who did that as well, and I've always guessed that the family was too poor to support all the children.

She might have been in hiding, but some people believed their souls were being taken or some such nonsense.
