This old photo shows the family of Archie Basil and Mattie Lavinia (Davis) Gallamore, probably outside their home. In addition, the young man in the back of the picture may be Francis King holding his little boy, Delbert, with wife, Lou Edna Gallamore, standing next to him. The two daughters on either end in the back are probably Minda Frances on the left and Della Mae on the right. In front we have children, l. to r. Ethel O'Dell, Laura Eunice, and William Lee. Seated in the center, of course, are Archie and Mattie. While not labelled, this photo is believed to have been taken in the early 1920s, probably in Osage County, Oklahoma.
As we can see, this photo has sustained some damage. If any family descendants have the original in better shape or other good quality family portraits, they would be a welcome addition to our collection!
