Grandma Koftan's Aunt Nell was the oldest child of John and Sarah Ann Twigg Peters, b. 27 May 1856, a little more than a year before Great Grandfather Edward. The Webers had seven children, and Gram must have kept in touch with her aunt and uncle, for we have a photo when Chris and Nell were elderly. Here is, first, the younger married couple and then the much later photo. Please notice her hairdo, for it's going to appear on others. I had the older photo, but this better print is from Mildred Peters Christianson, with her writing.
Their oldest child was Effie (b. 13 May 1876-d. 23 Feb. 1972), who married Will Miller. They looked like this (another photo from Mildred).
Their second child was Anna, who married a McCartney, but we have only this folder photo of her, perhaps a graduation occasion (?).
Their third child was Saidee (b. 30 August 1880-d. 1956), who married Leonard Shipman, seen here with their two daughters, Twyla and Miriam.
