It is a photo of the Ab Jennings family, I believe about 1897/98. The Family was living in Somervell County, near Glen Rose at that time. The three older children of Ab and Miriam (Smith) Jennings were already married when this was made. Allen said this photo was the property of his aunt Lillie Jennings, and she had written these names on the back. Back Row: Fannie Jennings, Eli and Fred. Eli and Fannie (Cockerill) Jennings married Aug 20, 1898, in Somervell County. Celia or "Syle" (Ragsdale) was Ab's second wife. He married her 17 January 1886 in Coleman County. She is the mother of the two younger boys in this picture, Gus and Drew.
