Curtesy of my cousin Cindy Cline grandaughter of Ladora Lakota.

.....This is a tremendous photo made about 1908. The baby is Roy and he was born in 1908. The oldest boy in the rear is George who was twenty at the time the photo was made. The lone girl is Ladora Lokota and she was twenty-two amd already married to Gilbert Thornton and had given birth to three children. I believe the next boy on the right is Arthur Laben who was thriteen. Between George and Labe there was another boy, Harry Londas, who died young. The two boys on the other side of the photo are Walter Lee and my father Okey Lester. Okey is the serious one. There was never any nonsence about him, but Walt knew how to cut up. The little boy in the middle is Charles Luther. He died before the 1910 Census I think of Typhoid. My father also had the disease but he survived. Charles and Roy were the only ones who looked like the father. I an thankful to Cindy for this photo.
