The Schwyharts in Stone and Taney Co, Missouri
[Return to Main Menu]
Assumed to be in the Spring of 1900.
A classic photo! During times when Harold Bell Wright was walking this countryside in southern Missouri. Elmer E. is at the knee of James M., who died 15 Jul 1900. Liz (Mrs. James M.) holds a child that is Chester, their youngest son, born Jul 1899. Youngsters at right are Sally (Sarah A., b. 1895) and Bob (Wm. R., b. 1892). Two older girls are Liz's daughters, Jen and Emily. Two on left are presently unknown. Perhaps a sister of Liz and her son. Cabin was on James River, south of Kimberly City. Land is now adjoining or at the bottom of Table Rock Lake, I believe.
