Image Information
Dating the photo from the age of the infant (Elizabeth Woollcott), the photo is likely from her birth year, 1904. Elizabeth's mother (Maude Elizabeth Young or married name Maude Young Woollcott) is holding her in the center of the photo and is age 29. The women on either side of her are unidentified. Identifications are based on writing on the back of the photo and confirmed by Jane Cooper (grand daughter of Elizabeth Woollcott). The photo hung at the house of William and Sammy Stanier in Youngstown and the writing on the back is in Sammy's handwriting. People of high likelihood to be the other two in the photo include (1) grandmothers of Elizabeth Woollcott, (2) aunts of Elizabeth Woollcott. Elizabeth's maternal grandmother was Florentina K. Young, who survived until 1935 and would have been about 48 years old at the time of this photo. Elizabeth's paternal grandmother was Mary Jane Oliver (married name Mary Woollcott), and from census records we know that she survived until at least 1910. She would have been about 64 when the photo was taken. As for aunt's of Elizabeth, there is her father's sister Mary O Woollcott. Born in 1876, she would have been 28 at the time of the photo. And Maude's younger sister Alline. Born in 1885, she would have been 19 at the time of the photo. Further evidence for attribution of the people in the photo is that a women resembling the woman on the left appears in another photo taken in about 1935 with Maude, Elizabeth, Elizabeth's daughter, and an older woman resembling the woman on the left in this photo. The natural composition of the photo would have been 4 generations -- Mary Oliver (age 4), Elizabeth, Maude, and Florentina. This is just supposition but would be confirmed if we could find census records or family records supporting it. File historyLegend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete
