    Jerry and Mellie Kaylor family 1910
    Jerry and Mellie Kaylor family 1910
    Jerry (short man) and wife Mellie Jenkins Kaylor, his 2nd wife, taken in late 1914/15. The children are their daughters Price, age 10ish, Elizabeth (Bessie), age 9ish, and Nancy (Nannie) , age 7ish, and son Thomas (though looks like a girl in the photo), age 2ish in 1914/15. The girls are all listed in the 1910 census With Jerry and Mellie. Thomas was not born until 1912. The tall man in the photo Jerry's son Mathew, by first wife Sarah Adams. He also is listed as living with Jerry and Mellie in the 1910 census. He would be about 23 in 1914/1915, and remained with the family until wed to Zelma Webb in 1918. Two other people appear in the 1910 census in Jerry and Mellie's family: Mollie, Jerry's eldest daughter with Sarah Adams, and Olivia (Viola) Jerry's youngest daughter with Mellie Jenkins. It is easy to guess why neither appears in the photo. Mollie married Henry Ward in 1914 and would have moved on with him. Vola died in 1912, age 4.
