This picture was probably taken around 1898-1900, most likely in Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory. The family is in the 1900 census. Prior to coming to Indian Territory they lived in Newton County, Missouri. Elsa (Elzey) and family lived at Lenapah, Nowata County (after it became a state) for many years.
This picture was generously shared by a cousin, Carolyn Castleberry. Her grandfather was Edward Calvin Gray.
