Harriet and Mina Wolfe - Sisters
I do not know much about these sisters at present, but hope to find out more over time through research. On the same trip that I found the pictures of my Grandfather's sisters, I found these pictures of his aunts (his father's sisters). The ladies came from a large family, their parents being in a previous post - Jacob and Frances Wolfe. It is likely that this picture is taken on the San Joaquin river in the area where they owned a large tract of land in the late 1800's. The township was Castoria, which now would be on South Airport Way and the family talked of it as Durham Ferry. Both sisters married, but Harriet died young after having two daughters. In some of my research so far, it looks like Mina adopted one of Harriet's daughters and another sister, Amanda, adopted the other daughter. I will try to feature them in an upcoming post. But, for now, this current picture is of Harriet and Mina on the San Joaquin.
