The above photo is of Art Cavene and his sister, Sharon.
While visiting Art Cavenee in Wessington, SD, he lead cousin Pam and I into his garage. There, he opened a big trunk displaying many family momentos and photographs. Immediately I could sense his disgust concerning the way all these memories had been taken care of. Art is very much tuned into his heritage and I appreciate his confidence that in turning over these photos to me, to scan, was a good thing to do. He can depend on me to return them in good condition. We only checked through about half the contents, before giving up to the odor eminating and the time committment that we had to deal with.
He had a HUGE framed photograph of our grandpa Fred's uncle Edward. Pam took a picture of that rather than taking it with us. I haven't seen any other image of him.
There is a beautiful child's photo that on the back says Clair Wilfred Hobkirk. Our gggrandfather, William White Wilson, had a sister Martha. She was first married to Wesley Cavenee, divorced and then married to a Robert Hobkirk. Martha had about 5 children with a Cavenee name and 4 with a Hobkirk name. Much of this was totally unknown to me six months ago. I don't have a Clair Wilfred in my files. Definitely someone to look into.
We then have a Gladys Bernice Hobkirk. Beautiful child. Looks to me like the previous photo and this one were taken the same time.
A postcard of Elizabeth, probably daughter of Martha and sister of John Franklin Cavenee. She's married to Perry Brown.
Another beautifully framed piece..."Uncle Will and Aunt Dolly Cavenee". Martha's son was named William.
We've got a photo of Mr. and Mrs. John Franklin Cavenee (Pearl Wilson) and Lloyd, Nina and Cliff. This looks like it was taken at the same studio as the one that our Wilson family portrait has its roots.
A post card of Martha Wilson Cavenee Hobkirk..sitting on an old auto, outside a farmyard.
Another of Martha Hobkirk, with a beautiful dress on and taken in a very dressy studio.
One of Grandma Wilson - Lydia Enka Wilson. I already have one similar and chose not to scan it.
A lovely photo of three big-eyed young women. It says on the back, "Aunt Lib, Aunt Mary Jane, Aunt Anna." These are all sisters of Frank Cavenee.
One of these girls is the subject of another photo entitled, "Frank Cavenee's sister." The photography studio was in Galesburg, Ill. At this point not sure of indentification.
A picture of "Frank and brother taken in Rochester". Good looking men. I'm guessing the brother is Charles, as he seems older than Frank.
A picture of an Elevator and RR Yards in Wessing, SD in the 1930's.
Two photos of an infant, taken at the same time. One says Lloyd Cavenee.
A great picture of the Lloyd Cavenee Family - Joan, Marilyn, Wesley, Sharon and Art.
A formal picture of Walt Hobkirk, I believe the youngest of Martha's children.
A delightful photo of three dressed up children..."Clair, Ross and Gladys Hobkirk". Need to do some research on this one.
Two cute children...again Gladys and Clair. I'm thinking that these may have been the children of Martha's son, William.
A pale phot entitle, "Uncle Jim Hobkirk Family". Martha had a son James. There are two daughters in the picture which corresponds with a coming photo.
An adorable little boy, Wilbur Hobkirk.
Another older version of this child, I think.
A great picture of Art and his sister Martha.
A gallant Frank Cavenee.
What a find! A picture of Will Wilson, Jr.
A photo taken at the Newhouse Ranch in Lake Benton Minn. in 1896. Included are Ed Daugherty, Will Willson, Will Carrington, Fred Daugherty.
The Cavenee house built in 1909. It was built by Art Cavenee's grandparents.
Another charming photo of Frank Cavenee and another person.
And lastly a photo of Gladyce Gould...beautiful woman.
The Daugherty/Carrington Prairie Roots Newsletter is always looking for interesting photos to include. So glad that Art chose to trust me with these.
