Taken in 1912 at Mars Hill Church, this photo includes members
of the Hilton, Wilson, and Ellis families. Definite identifications include
Francis E. Wilson in the top left corner and in the third row in front
of him is his father Stephen F. Wilson. In the second row from the bottom,
left side, third boy is Raymond Ellis. On the right, bottom row, fifth
girl in white dress with dark collar is May Perkins. Also on the right,
second girl, second row is Lola Jane Ellis Wilson (Mrs. Francis E. Wilson);
next, to her left, is her mother Ida Belle Scott Ellis (Mrs. Isaac Ellis)
holding Lenna Ellis Crabb (Mrs. Walter Crabb). On the right, third row,
fourth lady, dark hat, is Thula Hilton Wilson (Mrs. Stephen F. Wilson)
holding Lena Wilson; next is Nancy Jane Hilton Ellis (Mrs. James H. Ellis).
On the right, fourth row, fourth girl in the light hat is Audie Ellis Williams
(Mrs. Arlie Williams). Other families which could have members in this
photo include Williams, Wiley, and Bassett. I would welcome identifications
of more people in the photo.
