Jackson
Family Pictures
Among my mother’s
things, I found 3 wonderful pictures of the Jackson family, but they are almost
useless, since I have no idea who the people are. I can identify my mom and dad, myself and my
brother, but no one else. These are
professional pictures, taken by a photographer in Manitou Springs,
Colorado. There are Christmas
decorations on the wall, so likely taken at a family Christmas party. I am most likely just over a year old, so the
pictures would have been taken in December of 1949 (maybe 1950). I have some vague memory of a Christmas party
at my father’s cousins, so I assume that these are Jacksons. I
would love to be able to identify these people and would appreciate anyone who
knows who they are to please contact me with the information.
I have scanned
the pictures and numbered all the people in them. I didn’t make any attempt to give the same
numbers to the same people in each picture, so each person may have 3 different
numbers.
Picture Number One seems to be couples with their children:
Picture Number Two is all women and mostly female children:
In picture
number two, my mother Estella Dana is #11 and I am #12
Picture Number Three is all men and boys, no babies:
In picture
number three, my father, Floyd Dana is #10 and my brother is #18.
I'm really hoping that someone (s) can help identify these people as they are great pictures, and would mean a lot to the family if we know who they are! Thanks for your help.

Picture #3 Person #7 is Jesse Jackson (1888-1951). Picture #2 person #8 is Beatrice M Turner Jackson (1887-1969). Picture #1 person #15, and picture #2 person #18 MAY be Caroline Jackson, daughter of Jesse Benjamin Jackson and Mary Louise Koemuth.
