This photograph found in my mother’s parent’s collection was not labeled, so I could only guess who the people were who are in it.

Thankfully a cousin who descends from the Mobley or Buchanan side of the family saw it, and recognized them.

The man sitting on the porch floor is Silas Mobley. His second wife Ura Finch is sitting in the chair. They are at their home in Missouri. Silas is a brother to my 3x great grandmother Margaret (Mobley) Buchanan. (Margaret was married to William Buchanan.)

There are several reasons that I scan and upload old family pictures to flickr. This, right here, is one of those reasons.
