Pictures of a Great Grandmother

I continue sorting the pictures sent to me by a family member (thank you D.N.).

Most pictures are not labeled, which is most unfortunate.

I was able to identify some pictures of my great grandmother, Ethel "Laurel" Winterton (1891-1962). She was born in Matawan, Monmouth County, New Jersey. She relocated to Newark in Essex County by 1910, when she married Howard Lutter.

When she was around three or four, professional photos were taken by Ferdinand Maag in Keyport. I colorized them at MyHeritage.




Looks like Laurel was in a group school picture. This could be Holmdel, as the family was enumerated there in the 1900 census. If anyone recognizes this picture, any of these people, or the building behind them, please comment below.




This photograph by Walter Joseph Bourie in Newark might be Laurel's graduation from high school. She is holding a rolled up paper. Maybe she graduated around age seventeen, so the year was circa 1908.





This picture could be Laurel with her mother, Catherine Butterfoss Dunn (1865-1944), at a festivity.




This picture is Laurel with her daughter, Beryl Lutter (1918-1988). The woman in the middle is probably Laurel's mother, Catherine Dunn (also pictured above). The man would then be Laurel's father, William Walling Winterton (1863-1932).





Catherine and William were living on Telegraph Hill Road in Holmdel in the 1930 census. No house number. If anyone recognizes this house, please comment below.

I use Gary Saretzky's website to figure out photographer's names, locations, and dates that they were in operation.
