Re: Anna May Stevens

So instead of working any of the dozen new photos I've purchased or finishing the 2 draft blog posts that have been sitting in my drafts for months now.... I felt the need to revisit Anna May Stevens, the very first photo I blogged about. I don't know why it's suddenly bothering me that I've been in possession of this photo for almost 2 years now. But it is.

Anna May Stevens

Previously I only had done some brief research about Anna, through both of her marriages (and utterly adorable first marriage announcement which is still one of my favourite stories ever), move to Florida and subsequent death... and a little bit of her parents. She had 2 younger brothers that I never really looked into. I'm hoping that one of her brother's descendants will stumble across this and I can finally reunite Anna with her family.

The older brother, George Black Stevens was born December 15, 1876. He married Edith W. Hoffman on June 15, 1904, in his hometown. They had two children during their marriage - Helen (born around 1906) and George Black (born July 18, 1907). He died on September 29, 1907, in Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania, at the age of 30 due to complications during appendicitis surgery.

I couldn't find anything on Helen, but George Black Junior was married and had a son also named George Black.

The younger brother, James Howe Stevens was born September 14, 1879. He had one son - Adie Allen Stevens II -  with Mary M. on November 7, 1909. He died on March 30, 1914, in Tyrone, Pennsylvania, at the age of 34 of spinal meningitis.

Adie Allen Stevens II had 4 children... and that seems like my best chance to perhaps find a home for this photo of Anna May.
