This week in #52ancestors and #52familyphotographs I thought I would try to crowd-source the identities of all the people in this photograph.
Florence Wells and family
This image is pasted into a photo album created by my grandmother Kathryn Prince Jones Preston. The accompanying notation says Florence Wells and family. Most of the images in this album date from the first year of her marriage, 1924. With that clue, and a list of Florence and Moses Wells‘ children:
- Anna Mary (Annie) Wells
- Harvey Wells
- Willard K. Wells
- Mattie Wells
The only grandchild who could have been the right age for this picture would be Helen Grace Wells, b. 1916, daughter of Willard and Grace Hewlings Wells. I have no idea who the two men and the younger woman are. Florence is on the left. Possibilities are Mattie and Samuel Horner and Willard K. Wells. I am hoping that my Haines cousins will have some insights.
Telling My Story 
Nov 3, 2023 – 1517
Hi Louise:
I am trying to find some information about my maternal grandmother, Florence R. Wells. My mother, Edna Lavinia Cramer (Wells) died in 2007 and I would like to expand my family tree.
According to my records, Florence was born in 1876. married Harvey Cramer in 1903, lived in Lower Bank, NJ, had five children with my mother being the last born in 1915, and died in 1919.
Thank you for any information you might be able to provide.
