“J.H. Staton Alices Gorman Staton baby born Jan 18-1907 –
66 yrs old now His mother is back of chair holding him”
I was saddened to learn that Alice didn’t get to raise her son, James Harvey. Alice died of a pelvic abscess soon after this photo was taken. James was raised by his paternal grandparents and his father, William Staton, in Monroe, Clark County, Indiana.
