Hello! These five were among the guests at my grandmother's small wedding in 1905 in Union. (She was Sarah Elizabeth Frances Brandon, m. A.L. Garner.) Any suggestions/links? Nothing on Alice Brown/Jessie (and this could be JessE) as yet. It was written "Alice Brown and Jessie" so there are limited clues about their relationship. Ida Downey was a Parks. Was Grover her younger brother G.C. Parks? Was Wynona his wife? Thank you! Joyce
