Dated Christmas 1901. [Left-Right]: Wilhelmina Rush "Wilma" (Sayers) (Milliken) Wisecarver [1899-2005] and Edwin Mitchell Sayers Sr. [1900-1956] - children of Henry Clay Sayers Jr. & Frances Lillian Scott. The Sayers family lived on West Franklin Street in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania, from roughly 1890-1925. We believe this picture was taken inside that home, which as of 2021, is still standing beside Domino's Pizza. See item #GCHS-AN027-0001-0143 and item # SAYE0009 for pictures of the house.
