A Wesson Family Gets a Visit from Santa

John Holly Williams Collection, LLF Library

The library caption reads: "Barlow Christmas, January 1949

Group of 23 includes men, women, children and a Santa Claus. A Christmas tree is visible in the background. This group was identified in handwriting on the back of photograph as 'Barlow Family - Wesson,' however, the envelope had 'Robertson Family'."

I suppose it's possible that both families are represented.  Feel free to chime in if you recognize anyone. 

I do wonder, however, have to wonder about that Santa Claus and the youngsters' initial reaction.
