Lucinda Kirby Watkins family, 1906
Six Living Generations in 1906. Lucinda Kirby Watkins, at age 97, is the family matriarch.
In this photo: Mary Jane Davis Showalter, Lloyd Ashurst?, Bessie Showalter Ashurst, Lucinda Kirby Watkins, Sarah Cannon Davis, and Temperance Watkins Cannon Hillyer.
Picture was taken in 1906 by D.N. Clauser, Havana, Il photographer. I believe the occasion was a family reunion. Lucinda Kirby Watkins lived to be 98, dying in 1907, in Atterbury, Menard County, Il.

Did any members of this family move to Alabama? I have members of my Watkins family that married into the Cannon and Davis families in Fayette and Tuscaloosa Co. Al.

This is to Kathy Dalton - the picture was certainly taken in Illinois - perhaps in Kilbourne, Illinois. My records show that Mary Jane Davis was married on 3/25/1885 to Joshua Showalter (b 10/28/1859, d 9/14/1937 in Kilbourne, Illinois).

Where did these Watkins live? Lucinda Kirby Watkins age at death? Are you familiar with the Watkins Family History Society? If not, contact me. Great rare picture of 6 generations. Story?
