    Dunkerley, Walter and Rosa with children Ruth and Russell ca 1890's
    Walter Dunkerley was born in England, and worked as a proofreader for the Houston Post. His wife, Rosa, was the fifteenth child born to Keton Jones McLemore--his youngest daughter. It is ASSUMED that this picture of Walter and Rosa was taken with their two eldest children, Ruth and Russell. The children might instead be Russell and Inez, as Ruth appears to have died young.

    THE PRECISE IDENTIFY OF THESE CHILDREN IS UNKNOWN, PLEASE HELP US VERIFY WHO IS WHO.
