This is a photo from the collection of my cousin Mike Walsh showing my maternal uncle, Terry WRIGHT, playing the saxophone for assembled relatives. This photo was taken at the home of Charles and Pearl (BEALS) LAMBERTSON.

In the photo from left to right are: Pearl (BEALS) LAMBERTSON, William Lee WRIGHT, Terry WRIGHT, Charles LAMBERTSON, Orville "Jack" LAMBERTSON.

The backside of this photograph says "Mom & Dad and Cora Beals".  Charles and Pearl (BEALS) LAMBERTSON were my 2nd-great grandparents.  I do not know who Cora BEALS was.  This photo was part of the collection of my cousin Mike Walsh.


There was a Dora Beals, wife of John Franklin Beals - who was Pearl's aunt.  I'm wondering if that is who this picture actually is.  This Dora was born 1871. Pearl was born in 1878 and Charles in 1872.  If I had to lay money on it, I think that this photo was mislabeled.
