There is something about the color of old color prints that transports me to another place and time in my mind. Thanks for posting these and the link !

I found proof that the women above are Maurine and Noreene Everett because I found their pictures in the 1930 Denison High School yearbook. I'll send that out later. From what I've found out so far, their mother was Ina Hay Everett (1896-1979) from Trenton, TX, who married Rucker Everett (1887-1947) around 1920. Their half (?) brother James Rucker Everett (1921-1964) probably died in the Vietnam War. Noreene married Donald Dodd (1912-1983) in Durant, OK in 1962, and Noreene passed away on 14 Feb 2005. I do not believe that Maurine Elizabeth Everett ever married, and she may still be living. This may ruin some of the mystery behind the photographs, but at least they may be able to find their way back to Denison. And it's good to know a little more about these two sisters who seemed to have loved each other so much. I have some more good news to share.

What a fascinating development! I can't wait to share the news with Roz Leibowitz, who has the photos. Thank you so much for helping her with this mystery. Sounds like you are on to the answers.

They are listed as the daughters of Rucker (a barber) and Ina Everett (a seamstress), but it appears that they may have been Ina's daughters from a previous marriage. There is also a brother, James Rucker Everett (b. 1921), in the household. I don't know if they are the same Maurine and Noreene in the photographs, but I'll try to do some more digging and see what else I can find out.
