This Margaret Graham portrait was taken in 1929. Margaret, formerly Margaret Knowles became Margaret Jordan after her first marriage and then Margaret Graham after her 2nd marriage.

The upper right hand corner the inscription indicates: Lovingly Sis Xmas 29. Sis refers to her sister, Muriel Leonhard back in Chicago. It is difficult to see in the scan that the year is 1929 and not 1927. But a close look at the original indicated the year is 1929.

By 1929 Bob and Margaret Graham were living in the Los Angeles area and had been there since around October 1922. The 1930 Census indicates she and her husband Bob Graham lived at 2320 Moss Ave, Los Angeles.

The portrait was a remembrance for her sister Muriel back in Chicago. The photographer was Austin in L.A.

Margaret regularly indicated she was born on March 19, 1878 in Montreal though her christening record indicates April 19. In either case, she would have been 51 years old at the time of the photo.

The Leonhardt family gave this portrait to Dave Jordan in the late 1980s. Muriel Leonhardt is Margaret Graham's sister
