William Henry Burks Family. L to R, John Oscar (1870-1934), Rachel Elizabeth Cates Burks (1848-1896), Samuel Walter (1872-1948), William Henry (1850-1919), Columbus B (1872-1877). Rachel is holding George Abra born April 1876.

I always enjoyed viewing this photo all the years it hung in my grandmother's beadroom. She was the daughter of Samuel Walter. This was also the first photo I scanned with the first scanner I ever bought which accounts for the poorer quality. However, I'm glad I did because the photo has a cardboard backing that is in horrible shape. John Oscar is no longer in the photo.
