Mystery Lady: "Aunt Rose"

George's aunt, maternal line
You may remember the mystery lady "Aunt Rose" that appeared in this photo of George taken in 1924 in Owen Sound during his honeymoon.

She appeared again in this photo of Edith and Gene FOLEY taken in Buffalo (photo courtesy of cousin Mary Ellen F).  And, she is wearing the same suit!

Aunt Rose was Mary Ann WALLACE-SIM's younger sister Rachel Rosetta WALLACE.  She was born in 1890 in Sarawak - the youngest daughter of William WALLACE and Mary HUSTON.  She married James Thomas HIX in 1920.  I was unable to trace her after that and do not know if she had any children.
