Walter, Harrison, Reed and Albert Vinson
This photographs is labeled as above but there are only three boys! I think we have Walter in the front with two Vinson brothers behind him (and Harrison is absent) . My guess is that the Vinsons were friends; this name is not in our genealogy.
We have another Vinson brother appearing with two cousins on Christmas day a few years later.
This is the only photograph where there was a clear mistake in the labeling (four names, three boys).
