James and Mary Jane Simpson and all 16 children taken in Vinita, Craig Co Ok. I am not sure as to when this was taken. Interesting fact about this family is that they never had a child die. The first death in this family was James Simpson (father). Another interesting thing is that two of these children weighed less the 2 pounds when they were born, Ida Mae the oldest is one of these babies.
