Monday Is for Mothers: Lulu Hayes Hilyard Slater (1871 - 1948)

This lovely portrait of Lulu Hilyard Slater and her two daughters Faye Virginia (1896-1968) and Helen Louise (1902-1984) looks like it was taken about 1905.

Lulu married James Everett Slater (1869-1914)* in 1891 which makes Faye and Helen my first cousins, twice removed.

Neither Faye or Helen ever married and both are buried in Twin Groves Cemetery in Severy, Kansas, as is their father (along with several other Slater relatives**).



*James was the brother of my great grandfather Lewis Logan Slater.
**Including my great grandfather Lewis Logan Slater, his wife, my great grandmother Rufina Ellen Tomlinson Slater and their daughter, my great aunt Opal May Slater.
