I would like to submit this photo of my great grand parents, Richard J. Hill and Nancy Jane Webb, North Hurricane Township, Fayette County.  They attended the Mount Carmel Baptist Church.

Identification was written by Mrs. Edgar Hill of Nokomis, April 1973.

At the far left in the back row is MANDY HILL and her husband Houston Halford. They have no children yet.

In front of Houston and Mandy is MARY HILL-CRAIG and her two children, one being in the baby buggy. She married Albert Craig, who was a brother of Alzuma Craig Hill.

Next to Houston Halford in the back row is Hannibal Craig, and his wife Lela sitting by Mary and the baby buggy. Lela's two children in the picture are Ray and Vance, being by their parents.
