This is a scan of a photocopy made from a photocopied book*.  I'd love to see the original!

LUKE GEARY'S FAMILY

I'm guessing this image was taken ca. 1900, which would make:

• Luke          52 years old
• Mary Jane  46 years old
• Anna         27 years old
• Fannie       23 years old
• Harvey      21 years old
• Quinn        unknown (I don't have his birthdate)
