This photo includes my grandmother Margaret Jane Hopson (seated far right) and her parents William and Mary (Rucker) Hopson (seated far left). Standing in the back on the left are Mamaw's sister Eliza, her brother Greenlee and his wife, holding their youngest child. Greenlee's other two children are also in the picture, but I don't know who the rest are. Can anyone identify them? (Note what appears to be a little stuffed poodle held by Greenlee's son. I wonder whether this is a photo made on the day of a family trip to the Stylesville fair, as described in the blog post about Mamaw's memories of Indiana.)William Harrell Hopson was born February 22, 1862, to Eliza Jane (Rosenbalm) and David Ross Hopson in the
Mary and William were married about 1883 at Washburn and lived and farmed at

I ran across your page while searching some family history..great stuff. Looks like your grandmother was my great grand aunt. If you still want to know who the rest of the people in the photo are here is what I have found (the young girl with the doll in front is my maternal grandmother)
Back Row - Eliza Lillian Hopson, Preston Greenlee Hopson, Jennie Routh Hopson holding Esse Faye Hopson and Nelson Routh (Jennie Routh Hopson's brother)
Front Row - William Hopson, Anna Mae Hopson (child with doll) Mary Rucker Hopson, Clayton Hopson, James Routh (father of Jennie and Nelson, Duskie Routh (Nelson's Daughter) and Margaret Jane Hopson
William and Mary Rucker Hopson are the parents of Preston Greenlee, Margaret Jane and Eliza Lillian all pictured
Preston Greenlee and Jennie Routh Hopson are parents of of Esse Faye, Clayton and Anna Mae (My maternal Grandmother)
Based on the birth date of Esse Faye (1913) the youngest child in the photo, this photo is around 1914 and would have been taken in Indianapolis, IN where she was born about a year or so earlier.
Do not know who the man and child are on the back left of the photo by the corner of the house.
I don’t know whether I ever properly thanked you for this information, but I do deeply appreciate it! I have additional photos that might interest you!
