Comments
Jean Getz
This is Margaret Pauline Fravel Wilkins (older girl), Alva Marvin Fravel (older boy), Gerald Clark Fravel (younger boy), and Florine Wisman Fravel Getz (younger girl).
Florine was my grandmother, and I have the same photo.
Margaret & Florine were sisters, the daughters of Nevin Kline Fravel & Lula May Wisman.
Alva & Gerald were brothers, sons of Jacob Marvin Fravel & Katherine Clark.
Nevin and Marvin Fravel were brothers, making Margaret, Florine, Alva, and Gerald cousins.
The back of the photo I have has their ages as:
Margaret, 11 years 9 months
Alva, 11 years 6 months
Florine, 7 years 2 months
Gerald, 5 years 4 months
Based on their ages, the photo was taken in early December 1930- after December 02 and before December 14.
