According to the inscription on the reverse of the above photograph, it shows us “Daisy, Violet, and Pansy Crozier.”
The sisters were the children of Sidney Herbert Crozier (1873-1919) and Nancy Jane “Jennie” McLain (1873-1961), both natives of Illinois, as were the sisters.
Violet G. Crozier (1895-1982) married an airline and decorated military pilot named Frank Allen (1907-1966). Frank would make a good subject for further study.
Betsy Daisy Crozier (1896-1987) married Samuel Russell Willey (1895-1951). She married James Kirkland (1900-1976) after Willie died.
Patricia B. “Pansy” Crozier (1905-1980) married Archibald Axel “Archie” Werelius (1897-1982) whose parents were born in Sweden.
Below is what appears to be another, earlier photograph of the sisters which contains no identifying information.
The sisters had a younger sister named Lilyan Iris Crozier (1912-1970. She married Harold Charles Tafel (1906-1979) and Lyle Hendry Lyman (1913-1982)
I bought these photos from Strawberry Fields on The Avenue (West 36th Street) in Baltimore in April 2026.
