This photo was found in the photos handed down by John Albert Smith (possibly
Jr.) & his wife Alma Irene Harper.  The back of the photo says Union, MS.  Since
John Albert & his family lived in Union & his parents,  at least his father, 
was born in Mississippi we think this is his family.  There is an old lady,  3
younger females & 2 younger males.  If anyone has any idea of the identity of
anyone in the photo,  we would greatly appreciate it.  We think the man on the
right could be a young John Albert Smith by comparing this photo to the only
other photo we have of him which was taken in 1930.  John Albert Smith moved his
family from Union, Mississippi to  Henderson County, Texas about 1915.  Soon to
follow was his wife's sister Ella May Harper who had married Leander Franklin
Smith who may or may not be a sibling of John Albert.  We are trying to find out
who the parents of both these men were.  Unfortunately the 1890 Census would
have been our best chance.  Haven't located them in the 1880 Census but can
follow them both from 1900 onward, seeking info on them prior to 1900.  John
Albert was born in 1873 & Leander was born in 1876.

Additional Comments:
We also have 2 additional photos that are old,  not sure if they would have been
from Mississippi or if they may have been taken after they were in Texas.  They
both are group photos,  possibly school group or classes.
