I don't know when the picture was taken. Samuel Henry's wife Martha isn't in the picture, so I presume the picture was taken after her death 16 March 1891. Amos Hamby died 25 February 1905. Samuel Henry died two months later, 28 April 1905.

All I have of this picture is an old, poor photocopy. My grandfather, Eugene Perkins, may have the original. I do not know from where he obtained this image.
