The information above was provided by Ruth (Alexander) Hart in 1989.  She corresponded with her nephew, Jeff Alexander (son of Don & Nancy (Graves) Alexander.)  

 

From Jeff Alexander, here is an explanation of who these folks are:

"Ma A" and "Pa A" - Pearl Jackson Alexander and Fred G Alexander-- are seated in the center.  

    "Ma A" was a Jackson and her folks are pictured --Martha Ann "Mattie" Matthews Jackson, her mom.

                                                                               --James Henry Jackson, her dad

    "Ma A"s brothers- Andrew Jackson  

                              Orin Jackson

                              Emery Jackson

   Their children present in this photo are listed.  Uncle Orin Jackson was a cattle ranch man  and had a meat processing plant in Plainview, Tx.

                               Uncle Andrew and Uncle Emery.  Emery lived in Kinmundy, not sure about Uncle Andrew, Kinmundy or Centralia.

   My grandfather Fred D Alexander was known as "Darrell" to the Illinois Alexanders, his middle name. Ruth McMillen Alexander, from Logansport, IN is his second wife and my grandmother.  

   A lot of the Matthews relatives lived between Salem and Centralia, IL.  Some are buried in the cemetery there. If anyone is interested, all three surnames and their ancestors   can be found on the LDS Temple website " Family Search " in Salt Lake. 

   My dad and Uncle Bob are in the  front
