Mary and Martha Barrett
The two sisters were separated for almost 40 years because Martha had gone to listen to the mormon missionaries and joined the LDS church in England and then traveled to Utah and married there then she went down to the mormon colony in Mexico with her husband to live for many years. Her father and mother (William Barrett 1800-1883 & Phoebe Colbourne/Coleburn 1824-1900) and some brothers and sister came to Utah and lived there until Martha moved back after loosing her husband. This picture is said to be taken soon after they were reunited. People had a hard time telling them apart. They also were said to have beautiful auburn hair.
