The vintage of the wooden wagon, and most especially the doll at far right might assist in dating this photograph. Note the reference numbers of "1", "2", and "3" above the heads of three of the children. The fact that all three of these little girls are blondes suggest that they may be sisters. The reference numbers further suggest that the identities of these three girls would have been recorded on the back of this photograph.

Writing with my grandfather, John Walker "Weird Mystery" that is in the Bloomington, Indiana University library stacks in the history of Indiana section.

In 2007 I met with local actor Andrew Robert "Bob" Woolery who starred in Breaking Away in 1979. Bob turned over all his family genealogy and I prepared it and turned it over to the Monroe County public library.
I've also spent long hours at cemeteries cleaning off the stones of the early settlers of Bloomington, Indiana. I have a Revolutionary War vet in my family his name is John Combs, his findagrave Memorial# 73293597 It has links to most of my family members.
My grandfather is John Walker he is at findagrave # 99976835

My mothers family the Combs/Walkers came from England and Scotland (Ulster Scots) and settled around Virginia after Revolutionary War, later making a permanent settlement in Hazard, Ky and my fathers family Long/Lang came from Germany to Yadkin, North Carolina and later settled in Indiana.
