This
is the William and Katherine Callahan family home at 613 South Oakes
Street in Tacoma, Washington. At one time there was a large garage in
the back yard. William's father-in-law, Daniel Le Betta Dean lived there
with his wife Harriet "Hattie" Sawyer Dean for some period
of time. The picture of a large group of people sitting around a dining
table was taken here. To see that photo go here.
The house still stands, though it has been broken into about four apartments.
Kathleen "Kay" Doles identified the people as: Marion Donohue;
Katherine Dean-Callahan; Inez Dean-Marshall; Barbara McCafferty; John
Marshall; Gertrude Dean-Mills/Rhodes; Doris Marshall-Knox, Inez's daughter,
Kathleen's sister; Patrick Donohue; Larry Donohue; and Marshall Knox,
son of Doris Marshall-Knox, and grandson of Inez.
