King Bros. Circus 1947 #1

"Alice", "Mona", "Mary Ann" and "Margie".
My records show a second small elephant "Vickie" had been added in 1947 but she is not included in this picture or had died.

Buckles,
Would this Vickie be the same '2,300 pound, 4 year old' that trampled Johnny 'Smoky' Strickland in North Carolina, September 1955?

Checking further, I see that the "Vickie" in question (named after Floyd King's wife) was killed in a truck wreck in 1948.

Thank you, sir. That would have been too easy :)
