This is a picture of the Charles and Amanda Mabel Whitacre Gray family. Charles and Amanda are readily identifiable but we can only guess at the identity of the four children. Charles and Amanda had a total of 9 children. They were married November 1, 1899 and had a son Ivan A. Gray on September 7, 1901. Ivan may have been the first child and if so, is likely to be the boy on the left. The next two children were girls so the tallest girl was likely Goldie Beryl Gray born November 8, 1902 and the smaller girl was likely Tyressa (Tressy) Mildred Gray born July 25, 1904. The next known child was Elvers Wade Gray born September 19, 1906 and is likely the child being held by Amanda. If we have guessed about right, this photo would have been taken about 1908.
