1905/6 OLLIE'S SIBLINGS & MOTHER

These pictures are cropped from a larger image, taken in Missouri of Oliver Elza Drinkwater's extended family at a family reunion, about 1905 or 1906.  
Ollie, his mother, four sisters and three brothers are included.
*This post was inexplicably flagged for not following community guidelines in 5/2023, reviewed by a "team" at Google and determined to have violated those guidelines. 
It's nine pictures from over 100 years ago and the names of those in the pictures.
Oliver and his mother Monema are my direct ancestors and the purpose of this page is educational -- to share family history content. 
There is nothing violent, misleading, hateful, confidential, explicit, malicious, illegal, or copyright infringing about this post. 
If there is a valid complaint, it would be lovely if it were plainly stated rather than some vague reference to community guidelines. 
I have some old family stories that would curl your toenails, but they are not included here.

Oliver's mother
James Robert (Jim Bob) Drinkwater
Oliver's 1/2 brother, born 1850
Sarah Sarina (Drinkwater) Harter
Oliver's sister, born 1855
Edward Harvey Brown Drinkwater

JOHN THURSTON DRINKWATER'S GROWN CHILDREN



Rosa Lelia [Drinkwater] Bevan (seated on the floor) looks like a teenager in this photo (to me).  She was born in 1879, so I'm going to guess early-to-mid 1890's (circa 1894) on this image.  



2/3/2014 Update!

The Palace Railroad Photo Car was a traveling photo studio in operation between 1885 and 1905.
