richardsonhomeplace.bmp1015 viewsThis is the Richardson family homeplace. On the right side, the man holding the baby is Luther Richardson. Behind him on the porch is Bertha Richardson, the two children beside them are my grandmother, Edna Sexton RIchardson and her brother Wade Richardson. I am not certain on the others in the picture, but if i can find more info I will let you know. My grandmother was born in 1914, I would say she is around 5 in this picture, so ballpark, taken around 1919, 1920. Courtesy of Amber amberbeth@gmail.com
