    1. [KSJEWELL] ALCOCK Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel via
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Leola ALCOCK which was taken at the Reese Studio in Mankato, KS. Leola is noted as 11 years old on 23rd March 1896, which appears to be about the time the photograph was taken. In addition someone has written "To Grandma" on the back of the photograph along with the additional information. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Leola and her family: Elvira or Elvina Leola or Leola Elvira or Elvina ALCOCK was b. 23 Mar 1885 in Omaha, NE or Manchester, SD to parents Jerome R. ALCOCK (1857-1937) and Alice Louise or Louisa "Lou" LORD (1859-1920). Leola married David Marion MCWILLIAMS (1884-1964) and together they had three sons including, Dale E.; Gerald D.; and Donald Dean MCWILLIAMS, all born between 1909 and 1923. Leola died in Omaha, NE in Sept 1975 and she is buried in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Omaha. Census records provide the following information: 1900 census of Julesburg, CO: Jerome ALCOCK, age 43, born Jun 1857, married 16 years, born IA, parents born NY, a School Teacher Alice L. ALCOCK, wife, age 42, born Sept 1857, married 16 years, 1 child/1 living, born WI, parents born ME/England Leola ALCOCK, dau, age 15, born Mar 1885, born SD, at School I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
