Mystery Photo Monday #2

First, I'd like to thank Kit and my mother for identifying Chester Carson and his first daughter in last weeks' second photo. This is another example of how they and others have contributed much to recording the Carson genealogical record.

And now, time for another Mystery Photo Monday.

This week, there are fewer people to identify, but also fewer clues.

Both photos for this week were taken from one of Kathleen Carson's photo albums. It looks like the same woman is in both photos. In one, she is posed with a soldier. The other appears to be from one of those dime-store or arcade photo booths'.

Take a look, then send email, or leave a comment, if you know who either person is, the year, where they were from, what branch of the service the gentleman is in, what happened to either of them - any help you can provide is welcome and appreciated!

UPDATED 29 March 2005: The woman is Alberta (Aunt Bert or Aunt Bertie) Elizabeth Rogers. Aunt Bert was a daughter of Loyd Rogers and Blanche Wheeler. She married Mac Tallent. Bertie was born in North Carolina, on 10 May 1921, and died of congestive heart failure, at age 63, in Hollywood, Florida on 11 July 1984. The man in the second photo is Gordon Stine, her boyfriend at the time.
