If you have any information on the folks not identified please email me.

These photos are from my Aunt Ruth Morris (nee Moncelle) photo albums. Due to her labeling the first one, I know that these were taken in 1938 at the Lindenbaum home in Lexington Township, Illinois. The Moncelle kids and Byron Lindenbaum were 2nd cousins. Ruth was 24, Byron and Eldon were both 22, Viola was 21 and Evelyn was 17. I know this group spent a lot of time together “running around” as I have other photos as well that note “The Gang”. I welcome any help identifying these folks!

This photo below was not taken at the same time as the ones above and neither was it taken at the Lindenbaum home, however, it does includes some of "The Gang" and it is partially labeled. I do not believe that Dorothy, Orville or Howard are related, but Velda Humphrey Phillips and the Moncelle kids are first cousins.
