Old Alva Photos

"To those of you who inquired about the spelling on the back of the pictures. Our aunt wrote on the back of them 30 years ago as our Grandma told who they were. We have no idea if the spelling is right. Its just what we could see and the only tip we have as to who they might be. You ask if I have a first name for Mr. Wright in the Alva Photos. Sorry, it doesn't have a first name. As for if Clyd is right on the Woode or Wadde photo, it looks like its either C-L-Y-D or O-L-Y-D . There is one other caption. Its says its "Ollie's girlfriend". Ollie was our grandmother, Olive Modesta Cunningham Cummings. She was the daughter of William Franklin Cunningham. They came to Alva at the opening of the Cherokee Strip and remained there until the 1920's when they left and came to Kansas." -- Eileen   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
