Wedding photo Identified! Wynelle Turner says "Betty Jo Schmidt Cordova, was raised in Gardner. I had her look at the photo and she immediately recognized the bride and groom. They are Della Martinez and Frank Velarde. She didn't hesitate. She knows these people and is good friends with Frank's brother Tony who lives in Walsenburg and is a retired State Patrol. Frank and Della still live in the Gardner area. She didn't recognize the younger girls and boys, but they are probable brothers and sisters or best friends of the bride and groom. Johnny Vallejos has also been in this county all his life and his family for 3 generations. He agrees that the bride and groom are Della Martinez and Frank Velarde. Standing next to Frank is Tony Martinez, and next to Della is his wife, Ernestine Salazar. Ernestine is from the Salazar family that lived at the Toltec Mines. They still live in Walsenburg on Pennsylvania. The man next to Tony could be his brother, they have the same facial structure. Neither Betty or Johnny know who the other young woman is, or who the children are." This photo is available to anyone that has a family connection.
