    The back of this picture was labeled, but a few of the names were cut off, apparently to fit a frame. Lynell Cordell helped fill in the blanks. The caption read "Sunday at Granny's: Little Sis (Mary Helen Gentry), Alma Gentry, Dorothy Gentry, Ruth Gentry, Betty Jean Gentry, Eva Gentry, 1947." (L to R). Ruth Gentry, who always disliked being photographed, is the only one of the cousins not looking at the camera.
