Photographs from a descendant of Alice Richardson Griffith
Keep in mind that Katherine Wiley was a matron at the Old Soldiers and Sailors Home in Xenia, Ohio from 1879 to 1893, and Alice herself was a pupil there from 1879-1883.
It is impossible to say whether the pictures are relatives, or friends of the family.
Alice's grandmother, Mary Ellen Kettlewell Wiley, her unmarried daughters, and son Andrew Wiley, lived in Mansfield, Ohio during the 1880's.
