FOUNT STREETSTONE BLACKWELL AND ROXIE ANNIE GREEN & CHILDREN

I am not sure what year this was taken, only that it was after September 1934 and before July 1947. My guess would be early 40's as Huey Lee was in the service during WWII. Bottom row is Roxie Annie Green Blackwell and Fount Streetstone Blackwell. The sons are, starting with the left side: son in Navy uniform is Huey Lee Blackwell, Lowell Duke Blackwell and son in hat is William Rube Blackwell (my line.) Daughters starting on left side: Daughter with cute hat on is Ollie Mary Blackwell, then Bertha Mae Blackwell and far right is Eunice Era Blackwell. The missing daughter is Anna Faye Blackwell. She passed away in 1934 from complications during child birth. She was only 15 years old. She was married to Ralph Sampler.
