Narrative

Adults pictured left to right are:

Jane Anne Thomas
Richard Dean Thomas (younger brother of Jane Anne)
Ruth Helen Bayha (aunt to all three adults)
Sarah Elfrieda (Bayha) Compton

Jane Anne is holding Sarah's second-born son, Larry Compton, while Dean is holding Sarah's oldest son, David Eugene Compton. Sarah is holding her daughter, Bonnie, who would be about one year old at the time of this picture. Another photo from the same date and location has hand-written notes by Jane Anne - "Springfield, Ill. 1947."

Sarah is first cousin to Jane Anne and Dean; Ruth is aunt to all of them, the youngest sister of Sarah's father (Charles Frederick Bayha) and the Thomas siblings' mother (Mary Alice (Bayha) Thomas).
