Could this be the Daniel Varner family?

This picture belonged to Arthur ("Duane") Varner, son of Eugene Varner and Pearl (Middagh),
son of Arthur Varner and Grace (Munsterteiger),
son of David Holmes Varner and Rachel Ann (Confer).
Duane's wife's maiden name was Goeb.

The picture was with other pictures of Ben Wurm and Florence (Varner), and Arthur and Grace Varner.

Also, Claudia and I wonder if the child on the mother's lap is dead.  Perhaps this was the last chance to get a picture of the child and the family together.  This was not uncommon.

Actually, Mabel confirmed in late 2004 that this is the family of Daniel Varner and that she also had received this picture many years ago.  She cannot recall who sent it to her.

See the resemblance?
