Hi Jude,
I have a physical copy of this photo in which my sister, Jennifer Holinsworth, attained at a local shop in or around Nowata. It has the names written in pen for some of the people in the picture.
I'm thinking the photo was taken circa 1914 or so. The little boy pictured next to my grandmother, Clara, is shown to be be Carl Holinsworth who was born in 1910. How 'cool' is this photo? (I kinda feel sorry for the horse!)ha.
I never met my grandfather, John Holinsworth, but my dad, John Jr., had told me plenty of stories about him. Even though I was young, I do remember my grandmother, Clara, she lived in Enid at the time.
My father, John Jr., passed away in 1993.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
