French Camp School 1919 , Fair Oaks School 1923



This first picture is of the French Camp School 1919, (Stockton, California). My grandfather, Van Wolfe is in the picture as are his sisters Frances (Adeline) and Eleanor (Birdie) Wolfe.

This second picture is of the Fair Oaks School 1923. The bottom of the picture says "Low-High 8th grade - Fair Oaks School - Stockton, California - 1923-24 - Mr. Hawkinson - Teacher". My grandfather is in the back row on the right side with the big tuft of hair.

Adeline Frances and Eleanor Wolfe

On a recent trip to California, I was blessed to come across several pictures I don't recall ever having laid my eyes on.  My grandfather was the oldest of 4 children.  When he was about 2 years old, his parents were blessed with twin girls who they named Adeline Frances and Eleanor (who I found out was nicknamed Birdie).  These two girls did not look anything alike, and after hearing some stories, have realized that they were nothing alike in personality either.  These are just two of the pictures that I was able to scan and bring home.  I am sure these girls gave much delight to their home (maybe a little vexation too, from time to time.)
