Wordless Wednesday - Frank and Clara Fowlie with flowers

Frank and Clara Fowlie with flowers
This is a scan of a slide from my grandmother's collection showing my great grandparents, Frank and Clara (Ross) Fowlie. I think it dates back to the 1950s or late 1940s. I am not certain where the photo was taken, possibly the Ross farm in Calhoun County.

Update: I found a similar photo in another album that says this is from October 17, 1954 at the Whitted farm. Helen Ross-Whitted was Clara Ross-Fowlie's sister.

Wordless Wednesday - Fowlie Brothers in Wisconsin

Fowlie Brothers
This is a scan of a slide showing three of the Folwie brother's visiting Elvis Brassfield's farm in Reeseville, Wisconsin. Alex Fowlie (1886 - 1974 aka Alec Foley) is on the left, George Fowlie (1878 - 1967), center and Frank Fowlie (1892 - 1977) is on the right. This photo dates to between 1964 and 1967. Frank Brown Fowlie was my great-grandfather, George and Alec were his brothers.

Wordless Wednesday - Fowlie Siblings

BR47_018
This photo was taken prior to November 1961 at the Frank Fowlie residence in Lake View, Iowa. George Fowlie (1878 - 1967) is on the left next to Frank Fowlie (1892 - 1977). On the right side is Alex Fowlie (1886 - 1974 aka Alec Foley) and his wife Jessie (Crawford) (1897 - 1961 aka Jessie Foley). They must have been visiting from Minnesota at the time of the photo. I cropped the photo from a larger scan from my grandmother's set of slides.

Frank Brown Fowlie was my great-grandfather, George and Alec were his brothers.
