3		Wilson Family, 1884, Dakota, MN Notes from Theresa Kohn: "I firmly believe that this photo was taken in 1884. On the far right, I believe, is James Gardner Wilson. He would have been about 52 years old here in 1884. Fourth person in from the right would be Sarah (Brown) Wilson, his wife, about 51 years old here. Again, notice the difference in height---about the same as in the John and Gustie photo taken in 1901. And notice the extreme similarities in looks for the subjects I've pointed out. And notice James' stance in the family photo. I think those two people are James and Sarah. Next, the reason I feel that it was taken in 1884 is because the eldest daughter, Alice Tibbets, died in 1885, after birth of her fourth child. She would have been 30 then. So in this photo, the taller woman, with the hat, is Alice--aged 29 here. Then her husband Oliver Tibbets would be standing to the right side of Sarah as we look at the photo, and would be age 31 in this photo. Their only son George would have been age 4 in 1884, and that looks to be the age of the little boy standing between Oliver and James Gardner. Just to the left of Alice would be either John Henry (grandpa) or Adelbert Leo. John would have been ten, Del would have been eight. I think it is John, based on the child's size. To the left of John would be Ethel, aged nine in this photo, daughter of Alice and Oliver. To the left of Ethel would be Edith, age seven here, also daughter to Alice and Oliver. To the left of her would be either Sarah (14), or Frances (12). It is most likely Frances, again given her size. Then I am guessing George Adrian is next to Frances. He would have been 18 years old. Willis would be next to George, at age 22. Finally, on the far left would be James Judson, age 16. Missing of James and Sarah's children are: Loylan--age 25, Clarence--age 24, William--age 20, and Sarah at age 14 and Adelbert at age 8. The three older sons most probably were off on their own at that time. I have no explanation for where Sarah and Del would have been, but from what we know of James Gardner's homeplace, this does not look like it in the background. If you read the genealogy report on Alice Wilson Tibbets, it tells a little about Oliver, and where they lived when first married. The first six years they farmed, then he sold out and moved into Dakota. Note what looks like two homes (roofs--at least) in the background. This could have been part of Dakota village. By 1880/81 they would have moved into Dakota, and in 1885 Alice died."
