Yet another marvelous image from Crockett's Bluff from the Prange Family archives.
What an amazing life-filled image from perhaps the early 1930's -- or earlier?
From the bats on display and Richard's mitt, one can assume there had been a ball game, followed by a the assembly for a picture of all the participants.
Thanks to the efforts of James Prange and Hallie Keithley (Hallie Gosnell above) we've identified most of these folks. With luck, we will identify the "unknowns," here as well as the background of this scene and its approximate date. I find particularly interesting the mysterious female figure in the back, part of whose face can be seen between Hallie and Richard, appearing to be making a "finger-thumb lens" with her right hand.
Those who view this picture and are able to identify (or are willing to hazard a guess) the individuals assembled, simply post your information as a "Comment" at the end of this post. I'll then be please to list the identities of those pictured.
The boy sitting on the ground far right and waving is my Uncle Joe Prange.

Edith Bowermaster, Russel Marrs, Grace Roberts, Edward Bowermaster and Eugene Bowermaster are my aunts and uncles. Russel Marrs and Grace Roberts were later married. They owned/operated a hunting and fishing lodge in Crocketts Bluff, Arkansas. The Bowermaster children are the younger siblings of my mother, M. Mildred (Bowermaster) Roberts and Grace (Roberts) Marrs is my dad's (John H. Roberts) sister.
