Marysville Kids

A photo of Mary’s children and some of their Marysville pals.  The photo is undated but I would guess it was taken in about 1910.  Below the photo you will see the names of the children.  And below that, the results of some research I performed at Ancestry.com in the 1910 U.S. Census, which I hope will help identify these kids.

Olive Plummer (#2), Wilfred Plummer (#5).  These are the children of William and Sophia Plummer.  They were 1 and 3 years old, respectively, in 1910.
