UPDATE - Roxie Rogers and Arphax Musgrove have been claimed by family and are going home. The lovely young lady below was labelled with the inscription above. It took me weeks to finally identify the name as "Roxie Rogers-Musgrove." The last name drove me nuts. I kept seeing it as "Innesgrove" or "Inersgrove." Only when I put these away for a while, then pulled them out and looked again, did I finally see the first letter as an M.

ARPHAX MUSGROVE |
In the same box in which I located the photo of Roxie, in fact right next to her, was found this photo of "Arphax Musgrove". I thought at first this may be a photo of the man she married, given the same last name, but it turned out to be her brother-in-law.
