This appears to be a family photo of David Walter Straub and wife Laura LaBarre [Straub]. They are seated front and center with their children around them.

WHO THEY ARE:

1). Unidentified (could be Bertha Ramsay, whom Lee married)

2). Unidentified

3). Violet Laura Straub [Richardson] (1887-1975)

4). C. Lee Straub

5). Homer Straub

6). Mabel LaBarre Straub [Farquhar] (1878-1944)

7). Roberta (Homer’s wife)

8). This is probably Hugh Ramsay Straub who died at the age of 8 on August 25 or 26, 1910, (he drowned in Perth Amboy, New Jersey) the same day that his brother David Ramsay Straub was born.

9). Unidentified

10). Dorothy (Homer’s daughter)

11). Unidentified

12). David Walter Straub

13). Bruce or Franklin Farquhar (in his grandfather David’s lap)

14). Laura LaBarre [Straub]

15). Unidentified (in Laura’s lap)

16). Unidentified

17). Marjorie (Homer’s second daughter)

18). Unidentified

19). Unidentified (possibly one of Lee’s daughters).

Note that women’s married names are in brackets [ ].

DATE:

ca. 1911 (based on the age of Bruce Farquhar who was born July 1910. He appears to be about a year old here.)

RELATIONSHIPS:

David and Laura had four children: Mabel, Lee, Homer and Violet.

#’s 9 and 11 appear to be the same age as David and Laura (late 50’s). Perhaps this could be David’s brother Elmer (d. 1921) with his wife. # 18 looks very much like #9 so perhaps that could be one of Elmer’s sons.

If you can identify anyone in the photo, please let me know.
