This Wednesday I bring you another young newlywed couple photographed in Higginsville, MO in the 1890's by photographer R. Alex Wells who I mentioned in a previous post. I estimate this handsome, but unidentified couple were wed about 1895. Not much is known about Wells, he worked as a photographer in Higginsville, in his early twenties. In the 1910 US Census he was living in Oklahoma City, OK with wife Bertha and son Tracy and listed his parents as being born in Missouri. He was not found in the 1900 census. He is also found in Oklahoma City Directories between 1913 - 1920's with a photography business at 129 1/2 West Main.
They are an attractive couple. I love the bride's headpiece and veil. Wouldn't it be interesting to know about their life together? Hopefully they had a long and happy marriage.
