This photograph from the summer of 1953, which is courtesy of Perry Ammons Correll, was likely taken at “Wickhaven,” the Grayton Beach house then owned by the Wickersham family. The house has since been moved to the southwest corner of DeFuniak Street and Hotz Avenue and was known for many years as Washaway House.
The woman circled in the photograph was Elizabeth Clyne Wickersham (1933-2004) and the circled man was Phillips Argrove Ammons, Jr. The couple married two years later. The man in the middle of the back row is wearing a T-shirt that says, “Camp Big Heart/Southeast Council/Staff.” Camp Big Heart was a Boy Scout camp near the Pensacola Beach bridge in what is now the Naval Live Oak Reservation, which is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore in Gulf Breeze. Any information about the people in this photograph is welcome.
