This is another remarkable photo which was apparently taken the same day as the previous 1900 photo. The mother of Vera Smith Ross is the first small girl on the front row (Marie Hill Smith). Vera's father, Sam Smith, is the 6th child on the 2nd row from the bottom. The last boy on the 2nd row from the bottom is Leonard Hill.
