Pictures from the John Purdy Family
(from Kathy)

1. Scan of original- Purdy Family 1900

Back row: Robert Early, Cordy Adwell, Viola Maybelle, Ethel Virginia, Samuel Tandy

Front: Daniel Orestus, Ollie Beatrice (sitting on her fathers lap), John Franklin, Leonard Augustus, Eliza Theresa, Eura Salina

2. John Franklin Purdy and Eliza Theresa Fowler Purdy

3. Purdy Family 1906 from left--Viola Maybell, Eura Salina, Ollie Beatrice (my grandmother)(front age 10), Daniel O., Robert E., Eliza Theresa, John Franklin Purdy

4. Eura and Ollie (my grandmother) Purdy from same picture, just a close up of the two girls 1906

5. Purdy Family gathering
The only people we know for sure in the picture are:

Middle front, Cordy Adwell Purdy (John F Purdys oldest son) has a mustache.

Back row: wearing a white blouse with a bow, is Viola Maybell Purdy Beshears, her husband Arthur McGinnis is to her left.

Cordy was born in 1875, so I am guessing he may be around 40, Maybell was born in 1881, she married Ira in 1916, they did not have any children. So I am guessing the picture was taken abt 1916-1917.
