Sitting on the ground in front of Josephine, is her daughter, Fannie Laura Bost.Lusk, (married Boyd Cardwell Lusk). She was born 11 Aug 1909, only child of Josepine.

    Standing: Left to right: Jesse Butcher, born Sept. 1890, youngest child of Mitchell and Nancy Douglas. next lady is unknown, standing next is oldest child of Mitchell and Nancy, James B. Butcher, born 10 Mar 1881, (incidentally his birth date is listed as same date Mithell and Nancy married!). James married Leona Catherine Farless, married 17 Oct 1902, next lady unknown, man beside her is unknown, next is Flora Butcher, born 6 June 1894, died 8 Aug 1925, oldest child of Mitchell and Cora, she married James Armstead Bottoms, as far as I know they had only 1 child, Fred Ross Bottoms, listed in Shellsford Cemetery book, as being born between, 1922--1927. Since his mother, Flora, died in 1925, I'm thinking she died at his birth???
