This old photo is in very poor condition, but it is believed to show John Calvin and Mary Tine Harris and some of their children, taken around 1906.  The ages of the older man and woman look about right in relation to the age of the baby.  John would have been about 50 and Mary about 45 when daughter Grace was a baby.  A closer view of the people is given below:

My best guess as to the identities of the children based on their birth dates are as follows:  Mary Tine is holding Grace, the youngest child, with the two girls standing being (L to R) Nola and Mary Annie.  (It appears that the girls are standing on different steps and are are not really that close in height.  Nola would have been 4 1/2 years older than Mary Annie.)  The boy sitting just below Mary is probably Wynns, and to his right Denzel.  The little girl standing to the left by the post is probably Ophelia.  Possibly the young woman standing behind Mary is one of the older Harris daughters, Addie, or Minnie.  I wonder why her head was scratched out?  Their home place was near Ozan in Hempstead Co., Arkansas.
