    The writing on the back identifies the man on the right as George. Since the others were born as Lukes, I suspect this is George Denver Luke.

    I was going through pictures with my mom, Becky Schmucker and came across these. This is Ivy(Luke)Pettijohn (sp.) and her mom, Nellie Luke Mason. They were Goldia (Luke) Mcdowell's, sister and mother.

    This is my great-grandmother, we called her "Little Grandma" Nellie Mason, and my Great Aunt Ivy.
