The top row of men, left to right, are listed as: ? Whitmar, Newton MacDaniel, John Pool, Sam Metcalf, and Columbus Edward Smith. The women on the bottom row are listed as: Dora Graves Pool (wife of John above), Aunt Becky Whitmar, Nancy Jane Tidmore Pool Doyle (mother of John above), “Grandma” MacDaniel (mother of Newton above), and Minerva Jane Pool Smith (wife of Edward above).
