ROW 1 [Sitting]:  John Manning, Mrs. John [Jane Brown] Manning, Mrs. Jane Brown [mother of Jane (Brown) Manning], Mrs. Hill [mother of Mary Platt], Mrs.Harve [Mary] Platt, Harve Platt, Columbus "Lum" Chenoweth   ROW 2 [Standing]:  John Hough, Mrs. John [Mary (Manning)]  Hough, Mrs. Leonard [Francis Elizabeth (Hough)] Chenoweth, James Harvey Chenoweth [being held by father, Leonard Chenoweth], Leonard Chenoweth, Mrs. W. H. [Caroline (Platt)] Chenoweth, William Henry Chenoweth.

This picture was probably taken in Randolph County, Indiana.  And since Leonard Chenoweth is holding his son, James Harvey, this picture can be dated circa 1900.

In the front row from the left moving to the right, the people sitting we find Mr. and Mrs. John Manning.  Their daughter, Mrs. John [Mary (Manning)] Hough is standing behind them with her husband, Mr. John Hough.  The third person sitting in the front row is Mrs. Brown sitting next to her daughter, Mrs. John [Jane (Brown)] Manning.  The fourth person sitting in the front row is Mrs. Hill.  She is the mother of Mary Platt, also known as Mrs. Harve Platt.  The next person, fifth person, is Mrs. Harve Platt sitting beside her husband, Mr. Harve Platt.  The final person sitting is Columbus Chenoweth, best known to family as "Lum."

The back row from the left is John Hough standing beside his wife, Mary (Manning) Hough.  Standing next to Mary Hough is their daughter, Francis Elizabeth (Hough) Chenoweth.  Next to "Lizzie" Chenoweth is her husband, Leonard Columbus Chenoweth holding their son, James Harvey Chenoweth.  Leonard's mother, Caroline (Platt) Chenoweth, is standing next to him.  The last person standing on back row is William Henry Chenoweth and it looks as if he has positioned himself a little closer and just behind his father, "Lum" Chenoweth.
