Anna and Lowell Ayres-siblings


Anna and Lowell Ayres are having fun in this shot likely taken in Raysville, Indiana in 1916. Lowell was Anna's half-brother. They shared the same mother, Grace Clavell Ayres (1875-1941). Grace had to flee a violent marriage and she escaped with her son Lowell to Raysville. William F. Ayres (1853-1934), a widower, and Grace'e new husband adopted the young boy. The young boy changed his name from Lowell Leek to Lowell Ayres. He later married and moved to Plymouth, Indiana.
