     This photograph was probably taken on the same day as the previous picture.  It is a old post card print that is really damaged.  I am not sure who the older couple in the picture is.  Probably Martins or Georges. If anyone recognizes who these folks are, please contact me.
 

James Willey(Gilbert) Martin  and Hannah George Martin are sitting to the far right holding two young children.  James Willey is holding Fannie Maude Martin Gann and Hannah
is holding Jimmy Gladys Martin, my grandfather.  Again, this picture was probably taken around 1905.
