Can you tell me how this lady is related to the Stovalls, names and dates maybe. She is a very beautiful woman and favors some of my family members. Where abouts did she live, and who were her children if any?
Thank You so much for sharing this photo. I have printed it and added it to my research materials.

The woman in the photo is my mother, and she is a Stovall by marriage. Her maiden name was Doty. There were five childrenborn to her. Three of the children (1 daughter, 2 sons)have the surname Inman, one son is a Stovall, and I am the oldest daughter who is neither a Stovall or Inman.
Fairy lived her entire life in the Indianapolis area. She died fairly young (in her late fifties)and is buried at Mt. Pleasant Cemetary in Greenwood, IN.
Thank you for writing that she was beautiful. I am said to resemble my mother. Some people have seen this photo in my home and have initially thought that it was a photo of me.

Antique and old photos showing weddings and anniversaries through the centuries.
Did you know that the white wedding dress was popularized in the West by Queen Victoria in the 1800's? In the East, a red wedding dress is considered good luck.
