Photos from Yuma County

Source: Yuma County Library Archives.
Back in 2017, I wrote about the family of Maria Esther Suastegui, a daughter of my 5th-great-grandfather Francisco Suastegui, half-sister of my 4th-great-grandfather Pedro Suastegui. I made a query to the Arizona Historical Society for photos, and they directed me to the Yuma County Library Archives. Yuma County came back last week with some photos, showing the family of Maria Esther. The one above, which looks like it was taken from inside a house looking out onto a patio, shows from left to right, Jose Venegas (husband of Virginia Suastegui), Asa Frank Post, Maria Giron Post, Maria Esther (listed as Mrs. Graham in the photo), Anita Post and Pete Munson.

Another photo shows Asa Post, Maria Giron Post, Maria Esther, and Asa & Maria's son Albert Post.

The last photo in the set shows Maria Giron Post and her daughter Maria standing next to a car. The passengers in the car are not labeled, but I think Maria Esther is in the back seat and Asa Post is at the wheel. The photos are not dated. As Maria Esther died in 1929, and given young Maria's apparent age in the photo (she was born in 1915), I think these were taken in the mid-1920s.
