Larger version of picture

Several of the people are holding up some kind of fruit. It looks too small to be an apple and too big to be a strawberry but I don't know what it is.

The lady in the white ruffled hat is Eva Belle Silliavn and to her right is her sister Inez. Behind Inez is their mother Mary Emma Sillivan. In front of Mary Emma we are unsure but think that is Belle's father-in-law William McBurney and in front of him is her mother-in-lay Rachael J. McBurney. No one ealse is identified in the picture.

I got these pictures from Darlene McBurney. There are a lot of them that are not identified. So sad. Most of them are of the McBurneys, I think. They don't seem to have any more that they know of as of now.

It was interesting that Belle married Fred McBurney and that her mother and his mother and possibly her father-in-law are all in the picture and I wonder since Inez is in it if the young girl beside Inez could be there younger sister Lula Sillivan.
