Jasper County, Iowa Family and Friends- Do you know these folks?
Roberts Family, Daniel Family, Murrell Family (Click for Family Tree)
Our last post featured some photos of schoolhouses and quite a few cute kids, and we have more! Following are additional unidentified photos in the treasure trove of the Roberts Family Album. These folks could also be a part of the Daniel or Murrell families that married into the Roberts line. We estimate the time period to be from about 1910-1920s. Again, we hope that someone out there might be able to help us learn who these kids are, so that the images can be shared with their descendants.
We have started the numbering of these photos with #11, to avoid any confusion with other posts. If you do recognize some of these people, or have these photos, even if unidentified (knowing the family line that inherited them gives us info too), please let us know in the “Comments” section!
Perhaps these images, along with some posted yesterday of other groupings on a log, were taken on a family outing or a school trip.
And here are some other images of children from the Roberts Family Photo Album, possibly not associated with the above trip to the great outdoors or a school:
The back of photo #2 from yesterday’s post stated, “Lea on pony. Me.” That picture was actually 3 boys kneeling along a fence, possibly in a schoolyard or at their home- there was no horse or pony in the picture. Could that caption have been meant for this photo, or another? If so, who is “Lea”?
We have shown a lot of cute kids, so we are probably contractually obligated to show a cute dog too:
Again, if any of these children or the woman in #14 look familiar, please let us know in the “Comments” section. Thanks in advance.
