Bob, how wonderful! Imagine my surprise when I visited your website after several weeks' absence and found this photo. I believe that my great-great-great grandfather William M. Evans is on the front row, second from the right. Although I can't be sure, there is a strong resemblance to a photograph I have of his son, John Thomas Evans. I have no photo of William, so this one is a real treat. Thanks for posting it!
