Her daughter Barbara Eitel is the girl located in the middle front row. The others are possible Perkins relatives at Grayson county VA. The lady pictured at the front right appears in many pictures I have. I am guessing she is Winnie Perkins mother. Hoping for help in identification. Cathy Bell cjbell47@goldenwest.net Jan 05, 2008
