Grace Wood Mundt

Since my previous post mentioned Grace Mundt, daughter of John Warren Wood and Margaret Hollett, I'm posting the only portrait of her contained in the Wood/Vincent photo album.

Grace was born in 1884. In this photo she looks about 14 years old, so we can estimate that it dates to 1898 or thereabouts. The style of her dress (what little I can see of it) seems consistent with that. Unfortunately, there is no photographer's name on the photo.

She is identified by a handwritten caption.

On June 8, 1906, Grace married Dr. Gustoff Henry Mundt in Chicago. His obituary, from 1962, gives you some idea of what sort of people they both were.

Mundt, Dr. Henry, Suburbanite-Economist (Evergreen Park, Ill.), April 04, 1962
Suburbanite-Economist (Evergreen Park, Ill.), April 4, 1962.

Grace's entry at findagrave.com includes a photo of Grace and Henry and two children.
