The Stilwell Sisters

The Stilwell Sisters
Lonson Stilwell and his wife, Mary K. White, had eight children, two boys and six girls.  One daughter, Kate Evelyn, died in 1863 when she was 13.  The above photo is of the other five sisters.  I believe ( but am not certain) that the woman standing on the left is probably Annette.  Standing next to her is Mary Elva.  I think the lady seated on the right behind the two in front is probably Hannah.  The other two would be Celia Blanche and Edith May.  I am confident in the identification of Mary Elva, but the others I am not so certain of.

Here are the dates for the Stilwell sisters:
Celia Blanche 1845-1924; married Frank R. Munn
Annette E. 1848-1908; married Charles H. Osborn
Kate Evelyn 1850-1863
Hannah Ruth 1852-c1934; married Edward Clarence Bent
Mary Elva 1861-1955; married John R. Jones
Edith May 1865-1903; married Judson Kellogg.
