Wallace Family Documents

 

This is a Wallace family portrait taken on Englewood in Huntington, WV: the men are Hud Haynes, George Jr., Jim Cook, William and the Colonel; the seated women are Jane, Champe, Betty and Lib.

This is another Wallace family photo: that's Elizabeth Wallace Cook on the far left, Jim Cook seated behind her, unknown child, Jane and William Wallace standing, unknown woman in back, and Colonel and Francis Wallace on the right.

This is the Colonel and Francis with some youngsters in the family: Jame Mayo, Judith and Jimmy Cook.

Another two photos of Col Wallace--the first was taken in uniform in France 1919, the other was in his civic leader days in Huntington.

This is Rev John Shackelford Gibson, who was head of the Trinity Episcopal Church in Huntington, and father to Frances Bodine Gibson.

Is this the house where Col Wallace lived in Huntington?? Is this 1520 Fifth Ave in Huntington? Or is this?

Rev John S. Gibson with his wife, Ilicia Davis Gibson

Rev Gibson's brother, Eustace Gibson, was a renowned politician and lawyer in Huntington, WV.

I think maybe this is the Elizabeth Wallace and other kids with their kindergarten teacher?

This is the Wallace kids' kindergarten class picture (Elizabeth is the far left, not sure about the other girls).

I think this is a slightly older Elizabeth Wallace with a different set of schoolmates.

Lib (Elizabeth Wallace) with brother William

Lib & Jim Cook took a fun trip to NYC and took some photos: the group, with the McDonalds, just the women, a bit of silliness, and smoking by the car...

Lots of photos of the Wallace kids at Virginia Beach in 1916: Elizabeth (Lib), Lib and Champe, all four Wallace girls,

This is another of the Wallace girls, but I'm sure who's who...Lib, Luther Wiles, Champe, Frances and Margaret are all in there somewhere.
