Alice Lenore Shaffer (1882 - 1975) & her brother William Henry Shaffer (1877-1952) The center photo is of my great Aunt Alice and my Grandfather as I remember them. I am hoping someone will recognize them as they were in their later years. Snapshot was likely taken in Hancock NY, 1951-52 as grandpa Shaffer lived with my family at 16 Dillon Street. My parents were Herbert & Florence (Shaffer) Keel. --Alice Keel Crim, March 5, 2003
