Della and Doris through the years

Doris and Della were Vera's two younger sisters.
As they spent significant time together as the youngest of 11 living children, there are a handful of photos of them enjoying life together.
* The "personal albums of Gene Nyberg" are the albums he inherited from his mother, Della.  They are all attributed to her assembly and to his wisdom in holding on to them.
"Doris & Della-
Two little girls when they're dressed in blue,
always know just what to do."
From the personal albums of Gene Nyberg
"Della and Doris when they first came to Lapoint; making their own recreation.  Their nicknames at this time were Day and Dode.  Della is about five, Doris about four.  It's probably 1916 or 1917."
From the personal albums of Gene Nyberg
