These pictures are not verry good but it will give you some idea how we all look. The children's hair was wet and didn't take good [??]

"Adlin" would be my great-great-grandmother Adaline Arnold. She was the mother of Annie Arnold Hicks. (Annie and Ulys would have been newlyweds at the time.) I have no idea who this Maggie is. I can't quite make out the last two words written just above her signature. It is a matter of some speculation about whether or not there is Native American blood in our lineage on Annie's side of the family. I don't even know if these people are related to us or not, but they certainly look to me like they have more than a few drops of Native American blood in them...
