View the Goldie Reip Photo Album here
This is the album in the possession of Nina (Elliott) Nicholas. It contains photos spanning an undetermined period of time, although presumably during Goldie's lifetime which was from 1905 to 1938. Some of the photos appear older, however.
Goldie was the daughter of Frank Reip and Victoria Mace. She was the oldest of 4 sisters. The others were Maud (b. 1907), Edith (1909), and Merl (1911). Photos in this album may include other members of her family. Her paternal aunts and uncles were Grover, Adam, Emma, William Howard, and Maud Alma. Their are also pictures of her grandmother, Luverna Ellen Downey, and also perhaps of her grandfather Peter Reip. Others who may appear in these pages are Peter's siblings' families. His brothers and sisters (Goldie's great aunts and uncles) included Alonza, David, Suzanne, Ira Grant, Gerutia Chenoweth, Elizabeth Jane, and Edith.
Goldie married Bernard Elliott, and there are -- not surprisingly -- lots of pictures of him in this album. As a consequence there may be pictures of his family here, too. His parents were John A. Elliott and Arminda Hathaway. Their children, besides Bernard, were Roxy, Alva, Watson, Oley, Millie, Florence, and Verna.
I would like to identify as many of the people in these photos as possible. If you recognize any of them, please let me know. But you might think someone "looks like" someone you know, or you recognize (or think you recognize) a location, or even if you disagree with any of my identifications, please let me know by contacting me at rmottice@msn.com.
