• Photos		Sisters: Elma Swain Fisher & Mary Davis "Mollie" Swain Blasingame Elma is standing on the right, Mollie is on the left. Mollie's husband, Elisha is seating in front of her. We are still not certain on the identity of the woman to the right of Elisha. We think it might be Mollie's and Elma's mother, Melissa Merrill Swain. (Still researching)
