Memorable Photo Monday #5

UPDATED 11 July 2005: To correct Joanne, Mary Anne, the year and to add comments about where they lived.

Here is a photo of the Carson family from when they lived in Oklahoma (but not yet in Oklahoma City). Kathleen would walk the children for miles to attend Heronville Elementary School, then return in the afternoon to meet them. The younger children would make the afternoon trip along with her.

Seated (left to right) are: Joanne, Kit, Bernice, Bernie.
Standing (left to right) are: Kathleen holding Mary Anne, Chester.

Based on the ages of the children, the photo was probably taken in about 1937/8.
