Until recently, I never knew this photo existed. What a great photo of the James Martin Abell and Mary Charles Bell Abell family! My grandmother, Maude Abell Leake, is the lady in the black dress in the back row. This picture was probably taken between 1904 and 1906. In 1912, Maude married Claude Albinus Leake. I hope others get enjoyment from this photo, too!
