Here is a photo identified as Sarah Ellis, which I am not sure of. As one can see that this photo was taken around the early 1900's.Adah Estella Ellis was born in 1899 (married to Joe Teel), her mother was Serina "Serah" Felland (married to Ira Benson Ellis in 1893). I am assuming that this photo is of a young Estella -right, and Serah -left.
Please make comments if you have any more information.
Thanks to my Mom for the following information:
Mother Sara (Serina ) is on the right...the lady on the right is either a friend or a cousin. Sarah had bright red hair and like all the other ladies in the family did not gain weight until she was about 45 years old. She had a beautiful soprano voice sang often in the EUB church Filomouth Oregon. She sewed beautifully making lace and fine hand work. She cooked plainly but well. She had finishing school as a girl and as far as I remembers was very patient and kind.
Wow I've never seen this pic before. I wonder why mom and dad didn't spell my name like hers. Serina Serena

ReplyDeleteEan...the Lady on the left is the cousin.
ReplyDeleteI'll check the spelling But Serena is right we did intend the name to be the same G.ma
ReplyDeleteBrockway corrected that when Serena was born.MOM
Sarah is on the right and the lady on the left is her half-sister Bergit (Betsey) Felland Jore. Betsey is my great grandmother and I have lots of photos of her. She was 4'10", smoked a pipe and always had a pocket full of horehound candy. Also have photos of their father Ole Felland if you are interested. Betsey was from first marriage, Sarah from second. There was another sister Dagne (also called Adelia and Della) and brothers Knute, Martin and Gilbert. Please email me at janisg49@yahoo.com if interested in more information. Jan
