Upon Arrival In Indian Territory

Just look at them. Our FAMILY. Were they full of hopes and dreams and schemes for a new start in Indian Territory? My best guess is that this was taken in Southeast Oklahoma. Maybe near Poteau, Spiro, Cameron, CullieChaHa. And the year is probably about 1892. None of these in this group are still with us. If you can help with the identification, please do. We are only certain that the back center are Missouri and MG. Fairly sure that the young girl in the front center is Mary Lee Verna Poole, my great grandmother.

    I do believe the man second from the right in this picture to be my Grandfather Tyford Franklin Poole. He was the oldest of Moses and Missouri's Sons. Also, if the date on this photo is correct, then the woman standing behind Tyford with her arms around him, is his first wife Bell McInnally. They were married in Boonville, Logan, Arkansas 9 Aug 1891. Tyford and Mollie were not married until 29 Oct 1894 in Mixon, Logan, Arkansas.
