Front Seat: Oscar Roberts, Sela Foster, (child) Forrest Whorrall; Back Seat: Lizzie Roberts, Bell Anderson, Hattie Foster, Zillah LaRosa Whorrall, Running Board, Venice and Cleo Whorrall, Standing: Henry Whorrall. The photo was obtained from Venice Whorrall Fairley, Onarga, IL. Notes on the back of the picture from James O Talbot: Oscar Roberts is Oscar James Roberts, my grandfather and Lizzie Roberts is Mary Elizabeth Whorrall Roberts, my grandmother. Henry was my mother's (Flossie) uncle. We spent a lot of time looking for Indian relics and shooting his old guns. The three children in this picture belong to Zillah and Henry Whorrall.

So from this map it looks like the Foster Sisters (Martha and Leda) lived in the Schuler home and the Bela Foster and wife, Christina (McKay), lived in the Clarence Garmon home.

This references Foster Bros. Hardware and Wright Hardware.  Joseph's daughter, Sarah, married Sela Foster.  Sela Foster's daughter, Blanche, married Charles Wright.  "The Wright's carried on the hardware business of Sela Foster . . ."  So which building was the Wright Hardware business located?
