The minister, Elder Caleb Green(e) (elsewhere it is spelled with a final "e"), was married to Lucetta Nichols, daughter of Susanna Whitford and Ambrose Nichols.

    Shippee reunion -- Mancer and Edna are in the middle; I think that's Gertie in the front right with the girl. Unfortunately I don't know who all the others are. Mancer and Edna had 7 children so some must be their other children and grandchildren.
