The elderly lady holding the child is Jane (Fairhall) Culbert, wife of Richard Culbert (son of John Culbert & Mary Ward.)
Standing on the far left is Effie Culbert, the wife of Jane's son, Myron Manford Culbert.
And the lady with ink around her head in the centre is Lela (Culbert) Beadle, Jane's youngest daughter.
So far, so good. I'm 100% sure of Jane, Effie, and Lela.
Now, let's taker a closer look...
The lady on the far right looks very much like Jane's daughter, Hulda May (Culbert) Carscallen. However, the handwriting on the back of the photo says it's Mary (Culbert) Hodgson, another one of Jane's daughters. UPDATE: The lady on the far right is definitely Hulda May (Culbert) Carscallen. Thanks to Hulda's granddaughter, Wendy Boole for the update. We think that the person who wrote on the photo may not have been familiar with everyone in the family and was just guessing some of the names. He (or she) also incorrectly spelled Hulda as Hullda.
What about the child? Is this Effie & Myron Culbert's son Mert Culbert who was born in December, 1926? Or is it their youngest son, Earl Culbert, born May, 1929? There's no date on the photo to help me out.
Am I the only one confused by the handwritten identification on this photo?
I don't recognize the woman standing second from the left in the back row. I don't recognize the woman seated on the far left in the front row.
The handwriting suggests that one of these women could be another of Jane's daughters, Ethel (Culbert) Gras.
"Gramma Culbert" is Jane (Fairhall) Culbert.
Whoever wrote on the photo correctly identified Effie as "Left - Myron's wife" because she is Myron's wife. But then they go on to say "Effie" in another part of the photo. What the?
