The 1906 reunion picture shows Joseph and Cordelia sitting on the left end of the second row. In the third row, you'll find their son Bert and his wife Lulu on the left end,and you'll see their son Henry with his arm around his wife to be Leah on the right end.Their son Wesley is the man with the bowtie in the middle of row three. I believe that their daughters Millie and Cora are the two women holding babies next to the last woman in row two who is also holding a baby.As you look at them, Cora is on the right.
