Does any one recognize this family. When my sister in law was going through some papers after her mother had passed away she found some pictures of a funeral, written on the back was Thomas Ridley Bates, June 26, 1949. We believe it is the family listed below, if you have a connection to this family we sure would like to hear from you.
