    1. [JACKSON] DOAK - JACKSON Family photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Hazel DOAK and her brother Edley DOAK. The photograph was taken at the Elite Studio in San Diego, California, likely sometime in the 1880's with the two children appearing to be about 2-4 years old at the time. In addition to their names, someone has written "N. S. DOAK, Lusardi, Cal" on the back of the photograph along with some order information and then penciled in numbers which make it appear to be a child's practice paper. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding the children and their family: Edley C. DOAK was b. 30 Jul 1884 in CA to parents Nathaniel S. DOAK (b. Dec 1846 in Wythe Co. VA) and Sally Elizabeth PRITCHARD (b. 6 Jan 1856 in MO). Edley married Georgia FARMAN (daughter of Floran FARMAN and Dollie THOMPSON) on 15 Oct 1910 in Los Angeles Co. CA and died in Santa Clara Co. CA on 7 Jul 1965. Hazel Olive DOAK was b. 17 Oct 1885 in Lompoc, CA to the same parents noted above. Hazel first married Tom V. VARNEY on 16 Oct 1906 in Los Angeles Co. CA, Tom was 29 years old at the time of their marriage. Hazel later married ? JACKSON and died Dec 1975 in Cleburne, TX. Census records provide the following information: 1900 census of Bernardo Township, CA: Nathaniel S. DOAK, age 53, born Dec 1846, married 17 years, born VA, parents born VA, a Farmer Sallie L. DOAK, wife, age 43, born Jan 1857, married 17 years, 5 children/5 living, born MO, parents born TN Edly C. DOAK, son, age 15, born Jul 1884, born CA, a Farm Laborer Hazel O.
