Comments: Polly Ann Heft (Nee: Phelps) | Spokane WA United States | 1921-1940 | Comments: I have an old postcard photograph taken at the R. E. Roye Studio in Spokane, WA which is identified as “this is my kiddies” by Roy E. The photograph is of two young girls, one appearing to be celebrating her 1st birthday. This studio was owned by Roy E. PHELPS, and these are his daughters Elizabeth “Betty” PHELPS and Polly Ann PHELPS. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family:
Mary Elizabeth “Betty” PHELPS was b. 31 Aug 1915 in Spokane, WA to parents Roy Earl PHELPS (1878-1948) and Lily or Lillie May MARTIN (1886-1977). Betty had one sibling, a sister Polly Ann PHELPS (1920-2006), likely the timing of the birthday celebration shown in the photograph. Betty married Robert Lee RAMSEY (1911-2001) on 25 Nov 1944 in Seattle, WA and they had two children. Betty died 24 Nov 2014 in Gig Harbor, WA and she is buried in the Fraola Cemetery in Port Orchard, WA.
Polly Ann PHELPS was b. 8 or 9 Jan 1920 in Spokane, WA to the same parents and married twice, first to Joseph Wellington HEFT (1919-1965) on 5 Jun 1943 in Vancouver, WA and they had four sons including Ralph Joseph; Phil; William J.; and Kymb HEFT, all born between 1944 and 1950. Polly’s second marriage was to Robert Charles WINKELMAN (1922-2006) on 29 Mar 1972 in King County, WA. Polly died 20 Nov 2006 in Mount Vernon or Bellingham, WA and she is buried in the Hawthorne Memorial Park Cemetery in Mount Vernon.
I am hoping to get this photograph to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
