First Row: Mary Gowen, Gertie Anderson, Zoe Fairchild, Maggie Gowen, unknown, __ Smithy, Joe Henry, Sid Henry, Orville Roller, two small children are Layton Pippin and his sister Goldie Pippin, Charlie Evans, Orville Evans, Albert Roller Second Row: Rev. Frank Fine, Jetta Edens, Listy Fine, unknown, Nellie Roller, Lena Anderson, unknown, unknown, unknown, Ober Edens, Jim Edens, Edgar Fairchild, Rebecca Evans holding Pearl Evans and ___ Evans - the little girl. In the Back are George Roller, Jake Roller and near the tree is Benton Lenox. Gusta (Banks) Roller had this photo, too, and she named the above people as being pictured. Below was another copy which came to me from a Barry County researcher. She was interested in the Fine family and so this photo came to her through those connections. The red marks are to help locate the people that she is talking about in the below message that she sent me. This message came with the photo: My Mother's cousin, Claude Fine sent me the photo to copy several years ago. We were able to identify Fine family from marks on the original. On the very left side is an elderly gentleman we believe to be Joseph M. Fine, he looks like this in other family photos. We believe the two young ladies next to him are Alma and Calista Fine. Over to the right towards the back are two young men-in front of them is a gentleman holding his hat, we think for sure this is Frank and one of the other Fine boys - possibly could be David or William. I do not know if John Fine and family are in the photo or not. They were members at one time. He is my Great grandfather, his eldest child Nellie my Grandmother. Barbara (Harrison) Basa |
