A photo of cousin Josie Logsden. Josie was the only relative who knew Aunt Beckie & Aunt Rachel had 2 sons each. She was the daughter of Aunt Margaret Barker & Joseph Logsden. Margaret was widowed from HH Stone. She raised his 2 girls, Justina who married Oran Burnet and America who married Noble Smith.
Josie married Frank Rhine & lived in McLeansboro, IL. Her youngest child was Margaret Rhine Hawkins, named for her mother. Josie was very crippled up with arthritis when she wrote me about the Barker history.
Yeah, not enough information, I agree. Since the cousin writing the story was born in 1909, I think Josie was born around 1900. And since the photo was shared around 2001, it sounds like Josie had to have been alive in the previous decade or so - the best I can do! :)
