Marcia R. Thompson was born Cora Freeman in 1874. She and her sister Marion had been born Cora and Isabelle Sarah Freeman, resp., daughters of a sister of M.S. Thompson; Melville Sirilus and his wife, Cora Mann Thompson, adopted the sisters upon the death of their mother in Kansas. Their names were changed at adoption, per the attached memo. [It is this Cora to whom the memorial near the PCHS (Potter County Historical Society) is dedicated.] Marcia has been in many of the photos posted in this group recently. She married 12 Jan 1899 William A. Stevens in Coudersport and was the mother of four children, and she died 18 December 1935.

Elizabeth Ellison was born 29 June 1874, probably in Coudersport, the daughter of Dr. Obediah Tibbits and Susan West Ellison. Dr. Ellison was a physician and surgeon in the Civil War and he practiced in Coudersport. Elizabeth was single and painted China in the 1910 census, in which she and Mrs. Marcia Stevens were neighbors on N. Main Street. (Marcia and Wm. had two girls at that time, Cora and Marion.) She died 05 September 1949, age 75. Elizabeth and her parents were buried in the Eulalia Cemetery, Section E. I don't know that Elizabeth ever married, but I'm still looking. I’ve only found her as Elizabeth Ellison, and that is how she was buried.

From the number and nature of photos, it appears these girls were quite good friends and several of them lived near each other. They seem relatively young here; since they were born ca 1874, I estimate photo ca 1890, or even earlier. But then, I'm not a very good judge of age.

John Christy Wetzel Marcia Stevens looks a l lot like my Mom when she was younger. It looks like there was an adoption in the family around my Grandfathers time.

Dorthea Trayer I cropped this portrait from a group of these girls posted earlier, S.H.S.V. (or C.H.SV.?). I'm pretty sure this is Marcia, from other group pics with ID's. She and Josephine Knox are pretty easy to pick out.
