I believe the woman on the far right in the top left hand picture is Amy Phelps. She is in the middle top picture with an unknown woman and in the top far left picture with Aunt Lilly on the left and Lillian on the right. Lillian is in the bottom middle photo with another woman and two men. Lillian is in her bathing suit with a child in the bottom right photo. Photos are dated September 1924

Ralph Phelps with what must be his daughter Patty in the top right photo. Ralph and Herma in bottom left photo and Herma and Patty in lower right photo. I haven't looked at these photos in so long I am remembering what I can as I post them, which is not the professional way to do it but its too late now.

Lilly Hoover in the picture on the bottom, second from the right. The others I am uncertain of. One is of a man dated 1917. The top middle picture is of a woman at a house with the same address as a photo from a previous page. It could be Amy Phelps but I am not sure

Top left is Ralph Phelps. Top right is Lillian with Ralph behind the screen door. Bottom left is Ralph and the bottom right are his wife Herma and his sister Lillian
Lillian Eunice (Phelps) Wilson Scrapbook Page 29
I'm uncertain who these are or where they were taken. The man in the top left could possibly be Ralph Phelps, but I am not sure. Not sure if the others are of his daughter Patty. Clearly I am going to have to go back to the scrapbook and try to remove the photos to see if there are names

Unknown interior Christmas scene and unknown child and older man

Lillian Eunice (Phelps) Wilson Scrapbook Page 26
Top left is Lillian. The middle picture is Herma Phelps and her daughter Patty Phelps. Patty was a first cousin of my father and is the mother of my late cousin Jack Givens. The bottom left is Herma and Lillian. Ralph and Herma moved to Oklahoma City, but I think these pictures were taken in Indianapolis.
Lillian Eunice (Phelps) Wilson Scrapbook Page 25
Top left may be a photo of a family home. Again I have other photos with conflicting information. Top right is an unknown woman from June 1922, as is the photo of Lillian just below it. On the bottom left is Lillian with a 3 women who might be fellow teachers. Photo date June 1924
Lillian Eunice (Phelps) Wilson Scrapbook Page 24
Top left is a picture of a Miss Dannon from 1918. On the far right is a school shot of a young woman from 1922. On the bottom left is Lillian with what I think was one of her classes. She grew up to become a teacher. The students are numbered but I have not remove to photo to gather names. I should go back to the scrapbook and see if I can get them without doing damage. This photos should be from Indianapolis
Lillian Eunice (Phelps) Wilson Scrapbook Page 23
Photo on the bottom left is Lillian and her brother Ralph Phelps. I am uncertain of the rest. I really only remember meeting my Great Uncle Ralph Phelps once in Oklahoma City OK in 1977. My dad, me and Uncle Ralph went to dinner at a local mall. I remember him as a very nice and interesting man. I wish I had written down notes after our meeting, or made a recording of him talking as was my habit back then. Every Christmas since I was a teenager he sent me $100 as a present. Back in the 60's and 70's to a kid that was a fortune. It is still a pretty good amount. I always wrote him a thank you note with an update on what I and my family were doing. He is survived by a great grandson who is the only other surviving family member I know of. His grandson Jack Givens unfortunately was killed in a car accident back in the 1990's. We used to correspond once in a while. He was a bank President in St. Louis with Mark Twain Bank as I recall.
I just remembered the young woman in the top middle picture is Herma Phelps, the wife of Ralph Phelps. I do not know her maiden name. So it is likely the unknowns in this picture are related to her side of the family.

Page 10 has photos on the top which I believe are of Indianapolis Indiana. The top left picture could be of a school in the snow, and the other is of a bridge which I think I have seen in other photos. The two bottom photos are a mystery. They could be postcards of some sort. They are glued in the book and I did not want to begin taking it apart.

Lillian Eunice (Phelps) Wilson Scrapbook Page 3
Pictures of Lillian with probable school classmates. I assume they were taken in the Indianapolis area
Lillian Eunice (Phelps) Wilson Scrapbook Page 2
Here are various photographs of Lillian on different occasions
Lillian Eunice (Phelps) Wilson Scrapbook Page 1
Following is the first page (Of a total of 103) from a scrapbook Lillian kept during the early 1900's. It is comprised of photos of family and friends. Most of the pictures were probably taken in and around the Indianapolis Indian area where her family lived. Unfortunately most of the people in these pictures are unknown to me. On this particular page, second picture on the top row is Lillian's Aunt Lilly. Lilly was the sister of Amy Rose Phelps. In the top right there is a small picture of Lillian's grandfather Perry Hoover. Right below Perry's picture is a photo of his twin, Cary. On the bottom right hand side is a picture of Lillian with another young girl.
Miscelaneous Pages From Lillian's Scrapbook
Following are two pages fro Lillian's scrapbook. One consists of obits for two men whose relationship to Lillian I am uncertain of. The other is an Indianapolis church program.
