| With appreciation to Lisa Cotten for sharing these two pictures. ABOVE: Lisa's maternal grandfather and his sister, Ernest (Ernie) Peterson Spellman, Sr. (age about 4 years) and Velma Claire Spellman (age about 7 years) taken about 1918. BELOW: Their older sister, Mary Ellen Spellman (age 2-3 years old) taken about 1900. They are the children of John Peter and Carolina (Carrie) Peterson Spellman. They lived in Algiers on Evelina Street. We believe the picture of my grandfather and great aunt was taken at Mardi Gras that year. John Spellman's parents, Michael and Julia Mary Nolan Spellman, were both from Ireland, married in Algiers in 1866. |
