Martha Jane (Andis) Harris and Henderson Harris
with their daughters Emily Almeada and Minnie Bernadette (as identified in photo on left)

Please note that both of these photos were clearly taken the same day. Both were provided by Ralph Harris.
The photo on the right was given to Ralph by Mary Turpin, and she states that on the back the writing is
"T. Henderson Harris, wife Jane Harris, daughters Leatha and Josie".
We hope that someone can clear up the discrepancy with the children.
