Merry Christmas from Horace and Elizabeth

This is the outside photograph of a Christmas card from my grandparents, Horace and Elizabeth (Sheldon Dow) Rockwell.

They lived on Scarborough Street in Hartford, CT. The homes were still there when I used to visit my mother in Connecticut and they were still grand homes. Grandfather Rockwell was a patent attorney in Hartford.

It seems that there is one small child outside the door of the house - and if we're going by this as a recording of their life at the time, one could guess that this would be their first child, Connie. Unfortunately the photo is taken from way back and the child is very small.

I'm going to check the genealogy book and see when the Rockwell children were born and then maybe also check with the one remaining sibling to see if she has any knowledge of this card.

In the meantime, Merry Christmas wishes to you ... in October!
