Picture is of Sidney Kate Turpen and father James Flemmons Turpen. We are assuming it is her wedding day. Right is a picture of her sister Sarah Jane Turpen Jones in later years.
Sidney Kate was called Aunt Kate and married James C. Hawk. She died Sept 5, 1965.
I was wrong about date of picture. Has to be before 1888 as Sarah's first child was b.1888. Picture is most likely taken between 1886 and 1887. NB married Mary Frances Turpen, Sarah's cousin in 1875. MF was b.1857. She died, then he m. Sarah. NB had 2 children at time of m. to Sarah.
Sidney Kate Turpen Hawk was born on April 17, 1876. Family, friend, or fan, this family history biography is for you to remember Sidney Kate Turpen Hawk.
