Thelma and Floyd Brassfield

Thelma and Floyd Brassfield

This is another photo from Elvis's album. It shows Thelma Sarah (Hunt) and Floyd Gipson Brassfield. They were Elvis J. Brassfield's parents. They were both born in 1898 and I think this photo dates to the late 1920s or early 1930s. It's grouped with photos of a house in Cherokee and a house in Lake City, Iowa. There is also one with a young Elvis in South Dakota. According to my notes, they were living in Fairfax, South Dakota in 1923, Cherokee, Iowa in 1924 and Lake City, Iowa by 1930 so the photo must be from that time frame.
