Jasper County, Iowa Family and Friends- Do you know these folks?

#11- Three unidentified boys, possibly of the Roberts family of Jasper County, Iowa. [Click to enlarge.]
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!

#12- Four boys on some rocks; possibly Roberts family of Jasper County, Iowa.

A riverbank and rocks- appears to be where the previous picture was taken.

#13- Four boys on a log.

Perhaps these images, along with some posted yesterday of other groupings on a log, were taken on a family outing or a school trip.

#14- Unidentified woman in the woods. A teacher or parent of the children shown on a log in posts from yesterday and today?

#15- A child climbing a tree in the woods.

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:

#16- A boy and a girl in a fenced yard.

#17- A boy on a horse in front of a two-story building.

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:

#18- A child with a muddy pup who at least is well trained. Begging for a bath maybe? Or more likely, more time to roll in the mud?

Again, if any of these children or the woman in #14 look familiar, please let us know in the “Comments” section. Thanks in advance.
