The Good Old Days
1906 - This image shows the Robert Edward Staten family in about 1906. On the back of the photo the participants are listed as: Back Row from left to right: Frankie, Ray, Chalmer Murry (for whom brother Murry was named), Mae (also known as "big" Mae as opposed to "little" Mae, our mother), and Effie. Front row from left to right: Robert Edward Staten (1862 to 1952), Tilda, Josephine and Lurena Elizabeth Taylor Staten (1862 to 1931). The photograph was probably made somewhere in Missouri. Chalmer was born in 1894 and died in 1957 and I'm estimating that he is about 12 years old in the photo that makes it about 1906.
Mom is buried in the Downing, Missouri cemetery on the same plot with Robert Edward and Lurena (her favorite grandmother) Taylor Staten.
