Narrative

Pictured is the family of Jeremiah W. Smith. From left:

daughter Rosanna Smith (m. Thomas)
daughter Susan E. Smith (m. Middaugh)
wife Rebecca Ann (DeWitt) Smith
daughter Etta Viola Smith
son George Henry Smith
Jeremiah W. Smith

Based on the apparent ages of the children (Susan, the youngest, appears to be four or five in this photo), I believe this photo to date from approximately 1880, and no later than mid-1881; not pictured is son Roy Clark Smith, born in April of 1882, and Rebecca does not appear to be dressed or sitting in a manner to suggest pregnancy.
