Description

Jessie (or Jesse) (Evans) Wyckoff (b. 1869 - d. 1954) was born January 7 (or 3), 1869 in Pennsylvania. She died February 24, 1954 in Los Angeles and is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale (Los Angeles), California. Her father was Louis Evans. Her mother’s maiden name was Morgan. Jessie was the niece of Rebecca (Evans) Buffum, Louise (Evans) Bashford and Virginia (Evans) Sewell. Her husband, Edwin "E. D." Dunham Wyckoff (b. 1859 - d. 1952), was born August 2, 1859 in Illinois; he died August 4, 1952 in Los Angeles and is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale (Los Angeles), California. He was the son of James Dunham Wyckoff (b. 1832 - d. 1909) and Mary Angeline Humphrey (b. 1835 - d. 1921).

Birth and death dates for their four children are: Helen Ramona (b. 1891 - d. 1976), Ruth Mary (b. 1893 - d. 1987), James Dunham (b. 1895 - d. 1972) and Edwin Morgan (b. 1899 - d. 1967). Helen Ramona and Ruth Mary were born in Illinois, James Dunham was born in California and Edwin Morgan was born in Prescott, Arizona.

Handwritten notes on another photograph indicate that Edwin organized the Wyckoff Society, a choral group in Prescott, Arizona, before he was married. After his marriage, he became pastor of the First Congregational Church of Prescott for three years (1888-1890), after which he moved to Illinois. The 1900 census shows his living in Douglas, Nebraska. The 1920 census shows his living in San Gabriel, Los Angeles, California and he continued to live in the Los Angeles area until his death in 1952. He devoted his life to church organ and choir work, private lessons and composition.
