I'm looking for my mother's dearest childhood friend, Beatrice Elder. Mother can't remember much of this time period, circa 1923 Atlanta, Fulton, Georgia. We have a picture of my mother (Dorothy Allen), Beatrice and mom's sister (Elizabeth Allen) riding in a cart being pulled by a huge goat (with horns!). The cart is labeled Atlanta, Ga. 1923. Mother can't remember where it was taken... Mom will be 91 in November this yr 2009, and I'd like to see if Miss Beatrice Elder has any relatives living that might like a copy of the photo...

I don't find a Beatrice ELDER in 1920 census, but
this entry could be close. Do you have any info
about a father who was a Railway Conductor? We might
be able to find out more about the brother Elmo ELDER,
born about 1915.
