Kline Wilkins

John Wilkins was my father.  I know several of the unidentified people in this picture. </p>

Back row, far left - Ruth Hite (Mrs. Cecil Hite, lived on Commerce St.)

The woman in the back row, third from left (over Dad's left shoulder), is Mrs. Garmen (sp?) who family owned the Ben Franklin store.

The woman to Dad's left (front row) is his sister, Anna Wilkins Bowers.

The woman to Mr. Clower's left (front row) is Dad's sister-in-law, Dorothy Lindamood Wilkins.

Hope this is useful,

Kline
