Even if not, the copyright would have long expired. It only lasts 70 years after death.

Copyright; the photographer died in 1960 so 70 years have not passed. However, it also sounds like the rights were passed on with the rest of the estate to the heir that is now using the photos.
I expect the OP will now find that his relatives will scan or photograph the prints and put them up on their FB page or family tree page - so it may be the OP that sues his relatives.

Third image all printed up:
My great-grandmother, who was known for her very tall sunflowers.
As an added bonus, my neighbor was celebrating her birthday today. Her kids & grandkids were over for supper. So I thought some of the little ones might be interested in seeing an old-fashioned darkroom in action. Three of them (ages 10-13) came over, and I made a print for them. They were very impressed, the oldest studying the enlarger and trays.

What about the "morally right thing to do" ? If we consider copyright rules as a God given, automatic privilege of every creator without any need of actual registration of the specific "creation" with proper office, it is only logical and just to extend it backwards to, let say, beginning of times. Off course there is that 70 years limit. But I am not sure if the limit is actually 70 after conceiving the creation or after the death of the creator. I think the first.

I did a quick check. The word 'copyright' doesn't appear in the Ten Commandments. So I'm fairly certain it's something us silly mortals came up with.
Besides, I wired up the factory God used to create the heaven and the earth. I don't recall anything on the blueprints about copyrights. Nothing in the spec book either. So when God said, 'Let there be light' and turned on a switch I had wired for the occasion, everything then was pretty much public domain.
