Turner Family Photo?
Sue is trying to identify the picture shown below. If you can help with the identification please contact Sue by email at: hartdan@peoplepc.com.Sue's comments about the picture:
"Thomas Walter Turner was b. 1883 in MS., died 1972 at Clyde, Callahan Co., Texas. He was a twin. I found
this photo and I am sure it's one of our Turners, but want to verify it. These babies are twins, and the only twins I
find in the Turner line is Thomas and his brother, David. Could anyone verify this for me? Is this a photo of
Thomas, David, and their parents, William Timothy and Georgia Melissa (McBryde) Turner? Thanks".
