Description

Mrs. Mavis Gibson saying goodbye to her daughter as Mrs. Weldon Belamy looks on. A woman (GIbson) is in a short-sleeved striped blouse tucked into high-waist gaberdine-looking slacks, dark socks, and light lace-up shoes is in a crouch position in order to hug a small girl. The girl is wearing a short print dress with a bow at the waist in back, and has a bow in her hair. She is wearing very scuffed light-colored shoes with laces and a buckle at the ankle. Belamy is wearing a plaid fitted dress trimmed with eyelet on the front seams, sleeves, and pockets. It also is self-belted, tying in the front. Her shoes are open-toed with small buckles. Behind her, mostly hidden, is another child, apparently a girl in a gingham dress and with light socks and another pair of scuffed lace-up light colored shoes. They are all standing in the brick entryway of the house at 2210 Prairie. Clipping: "Where 12 Men's Families Back Them Up In the 2200 block of Prairie, shown above, are the homes which 12 of our fighting men have left to make safe for the 'Four Freedoms.' Residents, anxious to fill their roles on the home front, are also active. Mrs. A. J. Johnson, 2005 Prairie, lower left, wraps candy and cookies for one of the three servicemen from her home. Lower right, Mrs. Mavis Gibson, 2204 Prairie, says goodbye to her baby daughter before going to work at Fort Worth Army Air Field. A neighbor, Mrs. Weldon Bellamy, who keeps the child at night, looks on.—Star-Telegram Photos." This clipping text pertains to three photos so is added to each for context.
