From Evelyn Delgado, uc1delgado@ix.netcom.com, May 2000: "No one has identified the older woman in the front, but I believe that is Sarah Jane. The idea put forward now is that Sarah Jane's surname was Stinnett and her mother was Mary Cox. This is a new development for me; a real surprise, so I'll have to work through this to see how I am related to her.

The man standing behind her is Ephraim (Eph) Culpepper, her son. One of the men standing next to Eph is William B. (W.B.) Boydstun. I believe it is the fellow in the checked suit. Could the other person be H.T. Boydstun?

The woman sitting next to Sarah Jane in the striped dress is my great-grandmother Harriet Isabelle (Belle) Shuster Cox. She is married to John David (J.D.) Cox who is standing on the far right.

The woman in the front row with all the buttons down the front of her dress is Ora Culpepper, Eph's wife. I don't know who the woman is who is standing in front of J.D.. Actually she looks a lot like his daughter (my grandmother) turned out to be as an adult woman.

One woman might be W.B.'s wife and the other woman might be his sister Amy.

I believe this picture was taken about 1885 when John married Belle. I have another picture of them together wearing the same clothing. I had wondered if it were a wedding picture. If so, this was taken in MO. Sarah Jane would have been about 50 years old.

Eph and J.D. were best friends and were together often in Idaho."4

Biography* Last name based on Sarah's 1851 marriage record. Others believe Sarah Jane's maiden name was Cox.
