Taken 1915. In age order, these are: Nancy, 15, Josie, 14, Elza, 9, Elmer, 7, Elva, 5, Elsie, 2, all Wilson. Quite the name choices!

I like how they all have little posies. Oh, except for the oldest boy--it looks like he might have thrown his down! http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/354050
