As Carol Cronin points out in her comments, this previously unidentified photo is now a success story! This is Jane Wright, the wife of Samuel Wright. A family group sheet for Samuel and Jane Wright was published in The Roane County Journal, Volume 15, No. 1.

Is this possibly Jane Looney Hershbarger?

This is the Alexander and Mary Frances (Jones) Harper family.

Maxine Landfried submitted this picture and provides this history:

My mother-in-law, Ersil Bailey Landfried (1911-1987 - See Story in Roane County 1989 book), was a niece of Mary Frances and after she (Ersil) died we found this picture with the words on the back "Harper's little family".  Of course, I soon found them in the family tree and census records.  It seems all ten children are lined up in birth order.  I believe several of the sons became doctors and were influential in Roane County.
