This morning we were shown the picture of another group including representatives of five generations of people. They are relatives of the Hester family in this city, the elder person being the grandmother of Mr. John M. Hester's wife. Their names as given on the back of the photograph are as follows: Mr. C. C. Hood aged 86; Mrs. H. D. Davis, her daughter, aged 66; Orson Davis, son of Mrs. Davis, aged 46; Doris Davis Price, daughter of Orson Davis, aged 20; Louise Price, daughter of Mrs. Dora Price, aged seven months. The picture was taken on Christmas Day, 1881, but since that time Mrs. Davis has died. If these "five generations" groups keep accumulating on us we will come to the conclusion that our "most remarkable" spectacle ever seen was not such a novel sight after all.Tuesday June 23, 1885
