  Gentry, Ada with sons Rene & Glenn ca 1919 Mrs. Ada Jones Gentry (back row, far left) with sons Rene and Glenn (both in overalls in the back). In front row is a group of unidentified children. To the back, sits a unknown woman in a white hat. Perhaps dressed for Easter? Or a Nurse? Was this taken at a school or hospital? Or perhaps it was taken at the former home of William Miller Gentry, which was later destroyed by a fire. PLEASE HELP US IDENTIFY THE LOCATION AND/OR OTHER INDIVIDUALS IN THIS PHOTO!
