AUNT MARGUERITE and FLOSSIE CHAMBERS – 1930’s

Marguerite Shank Truitt, Flossie Chambers, 1930's hairstylesI posted a single photo of Aunt Marge on the anniversary of her birth, but here is another shot taken at the same time with her (then) sister-in-law Flossie Shank.  I love the 1930’s hairstyles!  Marge came to California from Missouri at the same time her brother Press Shank arrived with his wife, Flossie.  Press and Flossie later divorced, and I am not sure if she remarried and became Flossie Chambers or whether Chambers was her maiden name.  My mother always referred to her as Flossie Chambers, and there was a Chambers family in the Phillipsburg neighborhood.

    • My mother was still doing finger waves when I was a little girl. She had clamps that held them in place when the hair was still wet.
