The children of the Walton A. and Mary (Dunlap) Threlfall family, except John William, were born on the family "home ranch", 5 miles from Knight's Ferry, California. As noted on the photograph below, the 9000-acre ranch was also 30 miles from Stockton, 20 miles from Modesto (the county seat), and 10 miles from Oakdale. The photo, in addition to harvesting activity, shows farm structures just beyond the edge of the tree line at the left and near the center. Also, at the left, is the "Boss & owner", "W.A. Threlfall age about 48 yr". His image is shown below, and enlarged from, the harvest photo.
The children went to school in Knight's Ferry.
