This photo was taken about 1895-1905, most likely in Worth Co, Missouri

Charles W. Parsons was born in OH, 8-15-1855 and died 10-10-1938.

Lydia King was also born in OH, 8-21-1854 and she died 3-7-1920.

The 1900 census finds them living in the Green Twp. of Worth Co, MO and listed as farmers. In 1920 they are in the W. Union Pct. of Worth Co, MO. Lydia gave birth to a total of 10 children, but as of 1900 only 6 were alive.

Following are the known names and birth date information for 8 of the children. It is possible the other two unaccounted for children died as infants, as I have been unable to find any additional information of them.
