~The photos were contributed by Ellen Elliott, from her personal collection. Elizabeth Ann Treanor Loughlin was her great-grandmother & the sister of Catherine Treanor Holmes. One of Elizabeth's daughter's, also Elizabeth Ann, married Henry Theis.  Their daughter was Ellen's mother, Gladys Theis Vogel.

Note - Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. is not a direct descendent of THE famous duo. In fact, there are no direct descendants of Oliver Wendell Holmes, the poet or his son, the Supreme Court Justice. If this OWH's is related, it is a distant relationship.  While trying to confirm or rule out a kinship, I discovered that the name Oliver Wendell Holmes was not unusual, particularily in the North East.

(Ellen's email address can be found on the surname registry under Holmes)
