Here's the first family picture. This is really a Xerox my mother sent me, and it is in bad shape. I am working on restoring it, and will post a better version later.

Father: George Columbus Gibson (Lum), Mother: Leona Dorris Gibson, Baby Son: Howard Dennis Gibson, Top Son: Carl Gibson, Middle Son: Everett Gibson, Bottom Son: Festus Gibson. Date of photo: unknown

Caption: My Mother Jannie says "notice how nice each little boy's hair is combed. This is an example of how Grandma raised her boys. There was no nonsense and she made them mind her. She was a wonderful housekeeper and person. Grandpa was always laughing and pulling pranks. Mother Nature truly balanced her family in these two." Can anyone date this photo? Shortly after Howard was born, looks like.
