| Shiels Family Photo |  |
|---|---|
| Persons | These are four of the five daughters of Missouri settlers George and Margaret Shiels. |
| Research Note | John Shiels had this to say about the photo - There is no date on the photo. You can see it was taken at the Simes studio in downtown Monett. Seated is Nina Shiels Maiden, born 1877. I believe she married a guy named Maiden in Missouri but the marriage didn't last long. Standing left to right as best as I can tell is Jessie Shiels Gillespie, born 1880, Margaret W. Shiels, born 1870, and Elizabeth Shiels Collins, born 1878. Missing from the picture is Annie Shiels, the oldest of the nine children of George and Margaret. She was born in 1868. The youngest, Jessie, was the only child born in Missouri; all the others had been born in Scotland. All of these ladies eventually moved to and died in Washington State but have markers at Waldensian Cemetery. |
