This is near a logging camp, most likely somewhere in New Madrid County, Missouri. The man in the center with no hat is John Henry Mosley (1871-1937), but I don't know the rest. The Mosley family lived in Parma, New Madrid Co., MO in the 1910 US census and had settled in Cross County, Arkansas by the 1920 US census. This photo was an old photo postcard among about 6 from the Mosley family.
Who are the rest of the men in this photo? Presumably, they're all loggers from the New Madrid County, Missouri area.
