About 1 month ago, my mother, Fern (Morris) Carroll, found this picture in one of our guest bedrooms that we call "Granny's Room." 
We call it that because the three-piece bedroom suite belonged to my mother's maternal grandmother, Mary Jane (Pope) Bradshaw, 
which was purchased between 1910 and 1920 from a Sears' catalog. Anyway, the picture is the original, or one of the originals. 
The photograph is in the original wood frame that my mother remembers hanging in Mary Jane's cabin in the 1940's. 

Below is a "Who's Who" in the photograph. If anyone would like a higher resolution copy they are welcome to e-mail me at ohiokjc@yahoo.com
