I have to make a correction from a blog post I made last year. This is actually the home in Summit, New Jersey where Uncle Sid and Aunt Frances (Sarah Frances Espy) lived before coming back to Headland, AL. Thanks again to cousin Beverly (Espy) Dayries for finding the photos. Aunt Frances also lived in t township Shorthills, NJ - prior to Summit. She was also the president of the Woman's Club at Millburn. Millburn was another nearby township. Short Hills, Summit and Millburn are neighbors.
Uncle Sid and Aunt Frances did not have children. In this photo, Aunt Frances is holding a child that could be one of Uncle Sid's nephews. It could even be just a child of a friend of theirs. It's a bit of a mystery, but a great photo nonetheless.

Bud is under the impression that the child with Aunt Frances was related to Uncle Sid. I just don't know. I don't think she had marked any identities on the snapshots I have that belonged to her. But I will look for this also today. But Bud and I do agree that the photo with the child was taken when Aunt Frances and Uncle Sid were living in New York or New Jersey.
