Date: c1920

This picture of the Robert and Susan Elizabeth Thornton Emmons family was probably made at their home near Gaar's Mill around 1920. Robert and Susan are the elderly couple standing on the porch at the center of the picture. The man to their left wearing a suit and facing toward them is Winfred S. Emmons, principal, merchant, farmer, and ultimately mayor, at Sikes. He was my wife's father.

The five sons are the older men in shirt-sleeves on the back row: Winfred, Jr., Martel, Fontaine, Glen, and Bob (holding his daughter). Unfortunately, the sons are not standing quite in birth order, as Glen is older than Fontaine. The only daughter, Elinor, is seated in front of the man in the suit--her husband.
Four grandchildren don't appear in this picture: one who was away playing American Legion baseball, two who were children of the second marriage of one of the brothers, and one who had not been born yet.
