Hillmanns 11. 1917 New Jersey

THE HILLMANNS OF BROOKLYN

CHAPTER 11

1917 NEW JERSEY

In 1917 we have the Hillmanns living in New Jersey.  They didn't stay there long.  Herman worked in Manhattan and the Hillmanns were NYC to the depth of their souls.


But I think,sometimes, you have a young family and you think that family might do better outside of the City.  Marian Hillmann was 7 years old.


She is practicing being a mother.

Herman's mother, Emma, also moved to New Jersey in 1917, which may have had some bearing on the Hillmanns move.

Almost all little girls like to dress up, and many big girls too.


The gangs all here.



By 1917 the Hillmanns are no longer taking photos just for events. They seem to have the camera handy to capture their little girl growing up. I'm so glad they did.





Marian unposed and happy. If you enjoyed this album there are 10 chapters ahead of it, and many more to come.
