This week’s #FridayFind is not one but two elopements!

In 1902, Lillian Miller (nee Liebrecht) eloped with Charles Miller after courting for a year (as seen in the first picture). Two years later, in 1904, Lillian’s sister Ella eloped with Chas Fogerty (as seen in the second picture). Both women were their father's and brothers' primary caretakers and knew their father would disapprove of the marriages.
