Francis Calvin & Mary Susan "Molly" Rains Witham


Here are 3 pictures of Francis Calvin & Mary Witham. The first and second pictures are courtesy of Sandy Sparks McCurley. The third picture was shared by Aunt Marjorie Witham. 

You can click on the photos for a larger view. 

Picture 1: This picture looks like it was taken at some sort of mill.

Picture 2: This is Francis Calvin & Mary with Mary Jane Gillis taken in Roxana, IL. We don't have a date for this photo, but I've attempted to ball park it. We don't have a date of birth for Mary Jane Gillis, but we have one for her mother, Aunt Exonia. Aunt Exonia was born in 1897. We can ballpark Mary Jane Gillis' birthdate at around 1920ish, so we'll say this picture was taken around the early 1920's. That would put Francis Calvin in his early 60's and Mary in her mid 50's in this picture. I enjoyed seeing the well in the background, too.

Picture 3: This is a picture of Francis Calvin & Mary with two children, but we're not sure who they are. 

If you have any more info on any of these pictures, please leave a comment below or email me. Also, I've seen Mary Susan's maiden name spelled Rains and Raines. If you know the correct spelling, please let me know. Thank you!

  1. We found out who the kids are in the third picture. Charlene had some of Aunt Myrtle's old pictures at the reunion and we found this exact picture that was labeled. The kids are Aunt Till and Uncle Ed. Thank you, Charlene!
