John and Sarah Ann Twigg Peters' third child was William (b. 7 July 1864), and he had three daughters, but we have only a photo of his first, Sadie Pearl, who married Orlando Ludwig. She has a faint resemblance to her cousin, Fern.
The fifth Peters child and the only other sister was Ida A. (b. 8 March 1870-d. 1944), who married Joseph R. Hammond, whose children were definitely among Grandma Koftan's favorite cousins, for she went to visit Leon at his date ranch in the Southwest and we went to a memorable reunion at Howard's in Des Moines. First is another photo Mildred sent me, of "Aunt Ida and Uncle Joe Hammond." That peculiar hairdo here seems braided into an ornament.
In the family photos we had this one of Ida's daughter, Nellie, who married twice, to Dave Wykert and then Percy Winder. I would guess she's the one at the left above.
That preceded necessarily this four-generation family group. L.-R. are Nellie Peters Wykert, Ida Peters Hammond, and Sarah Ann Twigg Peters, with the baby named as Minnie Pearl Wykert; but we have Nellie's daughters as Elsie and Marian.
