Family in Owensboro, Ky.

Fannie Alice Owsley is W. A. Owsley's sister. She was born on July 5, 1864. Judging her to be about 35, the date is estimated to be 1900. Knowing the identity of the child would narrow the estimate.

Another portrait of Fannie. Date not recorded, guessing about the same time as the above image.

Etta Speer, Susie's sister, was born on October 22, 1880. Guessing that she is 20 years old in this picture, the date is estimated to be 1900.

This is the section of the book "Reminiscenses of the Speer Family", by John Grove Speer, on Etta Owsley, one of his granddaughters.

p179 "And what shall be said of the sweet, beautiful little lady, Etta Speer, ever so kind and lovable, so diligent in business, so ready at all times to be useful, looking well to the interest and good of those who have confidence in her cheerful, faithful services at home and elsewhere, as the case may be? She is neat, modest, intelligent and industrious; a lover of the good and true, highly appreciating kindness shown by relatives and friends; striving for the approbation of the good and praise with whom she mingles, and now may her life's work be blessed and her path be strewn with flowers."
