I just received this picture and thought that you would like to have a copy.
Carl HEESS [1848-1907] is the gentleman with his family. [He was my g-grandfather with his first wife, Clara PORTER dau of Latney Porter & Sophronia BROWN. Their dau Estella Heess married Eugene NEWELL of Grover, PA]
Woman to the right of rocker closest to Carl is his second wife, Annetta WILCOX Smith Heess; woman in the rocker is the mother of Annetta, Rachel ........ Wilcox; to the left of the rocker is Dora HEESS [she married Eugene McKAY and lived in the Roseville area]; the young woman on the chair on the porch is Cora SMITH [married Samuel McCARTY]; young woman sitting on the edge of the porch is Jennie HEESS [married Charles BROWN and lived in Sullivan County--- 12 children]
Cora never changed very much. She always had a rather round face. She was the daughter of Annetta Wilcox Smith by her first husband Eugene Smith 1851-1884.
I hope that I made myself clear on the people and their
relationship. If not, let me know.
Regards,
Pat Newell Smith
