One mystery solved! I had no idea who these people were until I saw another, almost identical pose, of this family published in the "150 Years In The Hills and Dales" by Elon Reynolds, sketch written by Gale G. Touse. pg. 558. The oldest young man, standing in the photo, is identified as Franklin Touse. He eventually married Viola SCOVILLE, a 3rd cousin of my grandmother, on her mother's side through the FULLERs. From "150 Years..."; In the course of time a family of four boys were born to the George Touses. The first, named Franklin, was born December 23, 1874. .... Franklin, the first son of George and Elizabeth (Gordon) Touse, met a girl in the old FULLER Church and Sunday School. Her name was Viola SCOVILL. They were married January 16, 1897 and farmed for a few years. But farming lacked appeal to the young couple, so they sold out and bought a jewelry store in Pioneer, Ohio. He was mayor of the city for a number of years and was always active in the Pioneer Methodist Church. Only one child was born to Frank and Viola. It died in infancy.
