Photo of Marinda (Fry) Whicker?

My mother let me scan what she believes to be a photo of Marinda (Fry) Whicker. If you click on the image, you get the photo with the background as well. If that is her Grandma Gibson's house in the background (Sarah (Whicker) Gibson) then it most likely is Marinda (Fry) Whicker.

My great-grandmothers

Here's a photo of my two great-grandmothers on my mothers side. Their names are Sarah Catherine (Whicker) Gibson (left) and Elizabeth Katherine (Claxon/Claxton) Oliver (on the right).

Sarah Catherine Gibson and Elizabeth Katherine Oliver

A little story about Sarah C. Gibson. My mother told me that as she was getting older, she started getting more childlike - she used to play like she had something in her pocket and it was a little secret she had, and she used to giggle.

Elizabeth (Lizzie) Oliver my mother did not know quite as well. But she does remember her a little and she used to call my Uncle Bill (Oliver) pronounced it "Beelee".
