Picture probably taken about 1895 as Matilda Prather Nicholas seems
to be over 17 in the picture
Ni3 Matilda Prather Nicholas
(second from left, back row), 3rd from left, back row), Samuel Smith Nicholas
Ni3-13 (rear, fifth from right) Ni3-12 Mary Anna Nicholas (fourth from
right) and Pope nieces and nephew, possibly Mary
Anna Pope center but seems much older than 57, the five younger women
that is oneon the far left one each right and left behind her and far right
back and front must be her nieces. Since her mother and two oldest sisters
died in 83/84 they cannot have been in a picture with Matilda Prather Nicholas
at this age.
