This photograph shows the various generations of Hattie Mae Moyer's family living either in 1912 or 1916. I believe it is actually was taken in about May, 1912. I had believed the baby on her lap was Thelma Umphrey, Maude Walker Umphrey's child (which was very logical), but Thelma was born when Hattie was pregnant with William Walker, and Hattie was ill after that pregnancy and died before Thelma was several months old, which indicates this baby is either Ruth, Leota, or even Sammy Walker. It certainly looks like Leota Walker's other baby pictures from that year, so I am going to presume it was of Leota. Plus it appears that Hattie is a little less haggard than she seemed to feel by 1915 when she is seen in the family photograph with Sam and their first 10 children.
(Note: If this did happen to be Samuel Clinton Walker as a baby, the year would have been 1910.)
Sam Moyers, Hattie's grandfather, was born January 31, 1827. He died in 1920. George Moyers, her father, was born April 12, 1849, and died March 28, 1926.
