This circa 1915 "lost and found" photo is titled "Scary Face" but she makes me laugh. What do you think? And can you find any hints regarding her identity in the photo?

I don't think she's on her way to anywhere. She's wearing anapron. My guess is she'snot wealthy because the apron has a hole in it. she's likely thrifty because she hasn't thrown it away. But she also hasn't repaired the hole with a patch. Thrifty people would possibly be more likely to patch it, I think.
Can't tell if there is a palm tree in the distance. Not sure, but it looks like the tree behind her is a Norfolk Island Pine. they can't take cold weather and are usually grown in pots to be moved indoors in northern regions. But my dad had one in the front yard when we lived in Florida.

I am interested in the last names Pinna, Benning, Kroetsch, Finazzo, and Kroetch.
My family pays a lot of attention to the past which heavily influenced us to start AncientFaces.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
