An 85-year-old Texas woman will soon be reunited with a bridal photo taken more than 60 years ago, thanks to social media.
According to FOX TV, the photos were discovered at an auction by Sandra Poindexter of Lynchburg, Virginia. Originally looking for a vintage picture frame, the Virginia resident was struck by the photo and turned it over to find information about it.
Poindexter then found a piece of masking tape with the name “Harriet Galbraith” written on the back. She immediately posted about this discovery on her Facebook group, allowing users to track down Galbraith.

“I thought someone in my family might want this,” Poindexter told Fox Television. “If it belonged to my family, I would love to have it. And it was so beautiful.”
