She looks so proud, but there is a sadness to her.

Thanks to you both for your comments. Of Aunty Hannah's 18 children, two died in infancy, two sons died from horse-riding accidents in their late teens and the other 14 lived rich lives into old age. Her husband was a tough, frugal man who was forever looking to save money! She had to make many loaves of bread every day, for starters!

My hat's off to her, and all those like her! (My Great Aunt had 16 children in 20 years.) What a difference 80 years can make (for women)!

I can't even imagine what it must have been like, to bear so many children, and to have some die from diseases & accidents. And in those days, many women died in childbirth, so remarriages meant many "blended" families.
