…that in the early 1900s, Amelia Blum Thalhimer served Thanksgiving dinner to Thalhimers employees on the 3rd floor of the old store at 5th and Broad Streets?
I don’t have a photo of the store-wide Thanksgiving celebration, but I do have this photo of Amelia, my great-great grandmother (that’s her front and center) along with her husband Isaac and five daughters. Missing from the photo: their only son to live past childhood, William B. Thalhimer Sr. I wonder where he was that day?
Many thanks to my distant cousin Sam Revenson for sharing this photo with me after reading Finding Thalhimers.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Love this turn-of-the-century Thanksgiving story! Have a beautiful Thanksgiving with your “new” and old family! Love, Charlotte
Thanks, Charlotte! Happy T-day to you and your family, too!
That is a bevy of beauties. I see where you get your good looks!
Do I sense some sarcasm in this post, Mrs. Ink?
