Benjamin Franklin and Laura Alice Cutrell Fiveash Family
Sometime after 1900, the parents in the above photo and the next, Benjamin Franklin Fiveash (1852-1930)and
his wife Laura Alice Cutrell (1862-1952), migrated to La Junta, Colorado with their family. Their child,
Lizzie Fiveash, (1886-1891) had died in Smith Co. TN. Laura Alice kept a photo of Lizzie hanging on the
bedroom wall in Colorado as long as she lived. It appears the Silas Cuttrell family, who were kin and
neighbors in the Hiwassee area of Smith Co., had migrated there several years before.

This photo shows the children of B.F. and Laura Alice Fivash (they dropped the e) gathered around the photo
of their deceased sister buried in Fiveash Cemetery in Smith Co. Tn. Tall boy is John (1885-1945), boy on right
is Clarence (1892-1928) and the little boy in the dress is Herman (1890-1960). A family story says Herman is
wearing a skirt is because he would always climb and get hurt so Laura Alice put him in skirts.
