Back left to right,

Mary Elizabeth Brown Shelton, John Shelton, Bessie Laverne Shelton, Adele O. Shelton, James Gibbons. James is Mary's son whose Dad died when he was about 7 years old. They left Shirley, Van Buren Co., AR and went to Pauls Valley, OK as John had what is now called TB and they hoped the drier air would help.
Then I found him working on a farm in 1910 census in Atoka, OK.
Bessie is my Grandmother.

I am Joann Bradford and all the years growing up I had heard from my Grandmother that her dad died in OK and was buried at a Redhill Cemetery.

The company below is who took the picture, it took the picture developed it and printed it, sorta like our Polaroid cameras did.
