Rosalia Jane Mannheim Hon as a young woman

Today I'm featuring Grandma Hon (Rosalia Jane Mannheim Hon) as a young woman likely before or perhaps around the time of her marriage in 1914.  She was born in Duluth MN on Oct. 8, 1892. She went through 11th grade at St. Scholastica's.  I do not know why she did not graduate. The photo of Rosalia and her sister, Mary Gertrude Mannheim, as little girls have appeared in two prior postings.

Here are some undated photos of Grandma as a young woman. I'm not sure which of these predate or postdate her marriage. She is outside enjoying nature and that was a great place to take photos in a era without flashbulbs.

Where are those partridges? I don't know if she actually ever shot a gun or if she is just posing with Grandpa's gun. He did shoot partridges. This could be shortly after they married.

Sporting a Princess Lei style hairdo with a picnic basket on a ship or a veranda over the water somewhere? what is the stuff piled near her? Tourist stuff, gifts from friends, yard sale purchases? wedding gifts? baby gifts?

Another awesome hat and eating again on a rough wooden bridge somewhere. Hats and eating fluffy skirts-I'm like Grandma.

That is some collar and bow. She has sort of a Mona Lisa smile. I think she has a headache.
