The first time I saw this photo was in July 1998 on visit from my Aunt Mary Eleanor Dunlap of Falls Church , Va and Uncle Harold Dunlap of Starkville, MS. I am told that it was discovered in belonging of my Aunt Inez Dunlap Sandstrom sometime after her death and forwarded to them by one of her children.

Aunt Mary and Uncle Harold, who are among the younger children in the front row, took on the task of identifying the sixty individuals that are in this photo as there was no identification included. I know they consulted with others including Henry Hefley of Humboldt, but I don't have the names of all those that contributed at this time.

The following list was last updated in 1999. I added the relationships to help myself as well as others. There are four individuals that have not been identified. Any ideas on the identity of these individuals would be appreciated as well as any corrections or amplifications.
