Surnames: TWOMBLEY, WATKINS
These are unidentified pictures from an old album belonging to Alonzo W. and Lozina (WATKINS) SHAFER, who had come to Sumner Co., KS from Monroe Co., IA in 1878. One simply says "Graves - Osceola, Iowa" and the other just "Osceola, Iowa." Can someone identify them, please?
