Mrs. Frank Walley [Whalley] and Mrs. Wm. (Kitty) Sibley. | Title by indexer. Original description from cataloger's notes. Left to right: Little Frank Walley, Mrs. Frank Walley, Billy Walley. Mrs. Wm. (Kitty) Sibley, Billy Sibley. "Mrs. Walley lived to be 96. She's half Indian, half Russian. [Kitty Sibley] is an Eskimo." In an e-mail dated 18 October 2010, William Whalley of Camas, Wash., added the following information: Mrs. Frank Walley(sic) was my grandmother, Mrs. Frank Whalley. So the spelling of the surname is Whalley, not Walley. "Little Frank Walley" is Frank Brooks Whalley, b Wiseman, AK, 9Apr1912, so the date of the photo looks to be 1913. "Mrs. Frank Walley" is Marie Winifred (Kokrine) Whalley, 18Jan1885-1Aug1976, so she only lived to be 91, not 96. She was the daughter of Gregory Kokrine (Henry Gregory Kokrine), Yukon river trader, and Teyotaa/Tatiana Larion. "Billy Walley" is my father, William Gregory Whalley, b. Nolan, AK, b 7Oct1909. The photo was taken of the porch of the Whalley cabin in Wiseman, AK Not pictured is Marie's husband, Frank Cuthbert Whalley (b 22Oct1879, Australia, d 29Nov1953, California).
