The lady seated in the middle is Thula Hilton Wilson (Mrs.
Stephen F. Wilson) and standing on the right is Effie Hilton Wiley (Mrs.
Willis Wiley). Thula was the daughter of Alfred M. and Mary Ann Russell
Hilton, raised near Mars Hill, and Effie was her first cousin, the daughter
of John W. and Mary J. Wilson Hilton, and the first cousin of her husband
Stephen. The lady on the left is unidentified. Does anyone recognize her?
This photo is a tintype and was probably taken before Thula married in
1894 and Effie in 1897. (Photo courtesy of [email protected])
