Ellis Album

Black Ellis Album #1, Page 44

 

This album page includes photos of friends. The album was created by Blanche Octavia Huband, my great-grandmother.

The first photo is of Harriet “Hattie” Storey, 1895–1982, and Hazel Margaret Berrett, 1894–1991. It was taken in Ogden Canyon in 1914.

A previous page in this album includes a photo that appears to be from the same outing.

The second photo is simply labeled “Mabel Campbell.”

 

Mabel Campbell

 

Mabel might be Mabel Estella Warren, 1895–1985, who married Clyde Strong Campbell, 1894–1970. A previous photo in this album included Mabel Warren. In that photo the woman labeled Mabel Warren is wearing a large locket that might be the same one as seen in the photo above. (The link in the previous sentence is to a tagged photo on FamilySearch so you can easily spot the locket.)

Several photos of Mabel on FamilySearch are worth comparing to:

The photo in my album does not show Mabel’s face well. However several facts support assigning this photo to Mabel Estella Warren:

  • An earlier photo in this album includes Mabel Warren wearing a large locket that may be the same locket in the photo on this album page. That photo was labeled by the album creator with “Mabel Warren.”
  • Another photo of Mabel on FamilySearch also includes a large locket that looks similar to the locket in the photo on this page.
  • All photos listed above show the same wave pattern in her hair, a similar hairstyle in three photos, and all photos show hair color of the same tone.
