Friday's Faces From the Past: Wolfe Family, Before January 1954


This photo has many descendants of my great-grandparents Louis Henry Wolfe (1872-1929) and Addilee Tennessee Shelton Wolfe Odom Harris (1890-1977).  Standing from left are my grandmother Sara Melzina Wolfe Guokas Archibald (1907-1997), my great aunt Florida Louise "Sally" Lasyone Wolfe (1911-1963) and her husband, my great uncle Lloyd L. Wolfe (1906-1993), my great aunt Neva Marie Wolfe Ely (1912-1995) and her son, Louis Edward Ely (1935-2005), my great aunt Edith Elizabeth Wolfe Smith Murff Brown Gould Knox (1910-2006) and her then-husband Robert Lee Brown (1908-1970), and my step-grandfather Wallace Franklin Archibald (1896-1970).

The ladies in front are all still living.  The nun is my aunt, Jo Ann (Sister Jean Marie) Guokas, and the two little girls are hers (and my mother's) first cousins, Edith Carole Ely Dillow and Barbara Ann Ely Owens, daughters of great aunt Marie and her husband Louis Walter Ely (1913-1980), who was probably taking the picture.

There is no location nor date on the picture, except for a processing stamp of 11 January 1954, so we know it was before then.  I think it was probably taken during the Christmas season of 1953-54, based on the little girls' coats and new dolls, and it was probably taken somewhere in the Houston or Pasadena, Texas area.
