ODESSA: Odessa married Elmer Laco Hollar, Sr. (1904-1972) and they spent most of their lives together in Toms Brook. The 1940 census found Odessa with three young sons: Elmer L., George U., and Melvin L. Hollar. A fourth son, Harold Edward Hollar, was born a few years later. Odessa and her sons lived with Ida F. Borden on North Main Street in Toms Brook. Her husband was not listed. Ten years later, Elmer and Odessa were still living with Ida Borden on the west side of Route 11. Elmer worked as a carpenter and only his son, Melvin, was still there, with his wife and baby. BESSIE: Bessie married Jeptha Glenn Clark (1904-1986) in 1925 in Shenandoah County. The couple had a son, Guy William Clark (1926-1979) just over a year later. Early in their marriage, they lived in rural Edinburg with Bessie’s in-laws.

Bessie worked as a waitress in a diner while her husband worked in a feed store. Their grown son, daughter-in-law and 2-year old granddaughter lived with them. When Bessie died several years later, she was a retired textile plant worker. The name, "Borden", is written on the glass plate of this image.
