GRANDMA RUSSELL'S MOTHER MARY MERWIN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
I need help identifying people in photo above. The caption on the picture was "Grandma Russell's mother Mary Merwin's birthday party" but no one in the group photo is identified. I'm 95% sure the lady in the middle in the light colored dress is my Great-Grandma Jennie (Flummer) Dewey, the young woman next to her is my Grandma Flora Dewey, and the white haired man with his hand on the young woman's shoulder is my Great-Grandpa Claud Dewey. The others are most likely Russells, Merwins and Flummers. I compared the young woman in this group photo "Flora", to her daughter's, Beverly Anderson's, graduation picture, and they definitely look related.
The good news is my cousin Terry (Stringer) Peck found a picture of our Grandma Flora Stringer in her mother's Bible. Flora was admitted to New York State hospital in Binghamton back in the late 40s for Huntington's Disease; the picture shows her in a wheelchair holding her 2 1/2 year old grand-daughter Gloria Stringer, in Dec 1955, so it was taken at the hospital. She looks like an older version of the young woman in the group picture I found on Ancestry.com
