A. (Andy) B. Moore, Klamath Fall, Orel, sent the picture and the caption "Odd Fellows".
He says, "only Edd Trout and I are yet living of the 24 in picture. But nearly every one of them have relatives and friends in and around Taney County. Pearl Grooms Moore is a daughter of Chas. Groom. Dr. Jackson's son, Bert, lives in Hollister. Tom Jennings was postmaster at Hollister. Albert and Dave Parnell should have been in the picture, but I think Albert had the toothache and Dave was behind in his book work at the bank. Tell Ed Trout that he and I must be tough to be the only survivors of this pix."
