I found this photo among the Greulich family photos. The dark-haired couple on the left is Elmer and Lillian (Snyder) Greulich.  I’m not sure who the others are, but I believe they are relatives of Elmer.

I  labeled this photo Mary and Ethel Hocker. Ethel Hocker was the daughter of Albert Curtin and Lillian (Leedy) Hocker. She married twice, first to Harry Thomas Allen and second to Wesley Edward Foster, Jr. I am presuming the Mary Hocker refers to Mary (Curran) Hocker, wife of Levi Ainsley Hocker and Ethel’s sister-in-law.
