Smiths Family Group Photo from 1938

Earlier, we’ve looked at the Smith family group in 1923, 1946, and 1955. Here is the same grouping (nearly) in 1938.

Individual ID's are a challenge here: From the right, Orrin and Max (holding Gary) Hilgenberg; Pete and Eileen, Pop (he died the following year). I believe we have half-brother, Grant Ballard and his wife, Rita, next. Merle Bower in back, Betty Smith in front. Then Toots in the back, with Verle Thomas (in back) and LVene. Then Irene in front and Pauline (Polly) at the far left. That seemed work. Big group. 

I also came across this photo of “The Homeplace” farmhouse:

Also, in this view of the farm, from the air, notice the farmhouse…

Families are Forever! ;-)
