When we were in Abilene a few weeks ago, Matt restored a couple of my family's old photos. The first one is of Viola Marie Hicks, my great-grandparents' first child, born about 1915/16 (not sure). She died at 18 months old of diptheria. Our Viola Marie is named after her.
The 2nd photo is of my great-grandparents with their second child, Ellory Oren Theodore Hicks (aka "Uncle Ted"), born a couple months after Viola's death.
