Geraldine writes:I am sending you a photograph of Wiley Taylor Jobe and his seven sons. I have confirmed their identities with my 100 year-old cousin, Velma (Jobe) White, who remembers when the picture was taken (possibly around 1915 or so). We believe the "Roy" Jobe, listed as No. 13 child, was a repetition of Marvin Gilderoy Jobe, who was called "Roy." My cousin told me that another daughter died in infancy (possibly at birth), but there were only seven sons.
They are: (seated from l. to r.) Wiley T. Jobe, Marvin Gilderoy Jobe, Wilburn Berry (Will) Jobe, Vernon Tompkins Jobe. (standing l. to r.) John Nesmith Jobe, Luther Pipkin (Lute) Jobe, DeWitte (Dee) Talmadge Jobe, and Clinton Bedford Jobe

I finally was able to identify the daughters in this picture.Sitting, from left to right are Effie Ann, mother Mary Honea Jobe, and Martha Elizabeth 'Mattie.' Standing on the left is Alice Margaret (called Alice--never heard her called 'Maggie'), and on the right is Maudie Taylor 'Maude'. Ada Florence (called Florence) was not present for the picture.
Geraldine writes:
This appeared in the Nevada County Picayune, Thursday, September 22, 1983, and is pretty explanatory. In addition to those with "Jobe" last names, Opal Steed and Zetha Steed are Jobe descendents--daughters of Alice Margaret Jobe Steed. My mother, Esther Jobe, is standing beside her future husband and my father, Earl Smith. Velma (I'm sure the only surviving member of the group) is seated on the right.

Sonja Ann (a niece of Lee Steed) writes in March 20ll
My grandfather and Lee were born in Rosston, Arkansas. After Mary died, Ephraim gave both my grandfather Charlie Moses and Lee to relatives to raise. I don't know if they were reared together or separately. My grandfather was raised in Jefferson, Texas but returned to Rosston sometime prior to or after his first marriage where he met his second wife my grandmother Ruby Tunnell who was born and reared at Cale, Arkansas just five miles distant from Rosston. It seems that Lee may have lived with Oscar J. Steed, one of Ephraim Steed's younger brothers, because I have noticed on some Steed websites that both Bascom and Lee are occasionally incorrectly listed as sons of Oscar J. My mother Delcie Steed was born some eleven years after the death of Lee Steed, and she wasn't familiar with any of Lee's family but Bascom. My grandfather was a sharecropper and never owned a car, so visits to relatives were far and few between when my mother and her siblings were growing up -- even if those relatives lived within what we now consider the same neighborhood. I can recall when a trip to Gurdon for groceries for my grandfather was an all-day affair, and he and my grandmother lived less than 8 miles from town. He'd get up before daylight and hitch up Shortie and Byrd, and it would be nearly dark before he would get back home with the groceries -- flour, sugar, cornmeal, and lard -- stuff they couldn't grow themselves. This was in the late 1940s.
