Back in 2012, I posted a photograph of Richard E. Duncan and family. Their daughter Mary Belle Duncan, who was simply called Belle by the Duncan family, was not in the photo because she had left home and was married to Joe H. Holder. Since she died young, I did not have much hope of ever seeing a photograph of her. However, cousin Gerald Holder had not one, but two pictures of her with her family. All of these pictures were taken before her death in 1922.
The first picture is one of Mary Belle (Duncan) Holder with her son Enos Melvin "Gid' Holder taken c. 1920/1921:

The second picture is of the entire Holder family posed in their new John Deere wagon. From left to right: Enos Wayne "Gid" Holder, Henry Holder, Gladys Holder, Joe H. Holder, Mary Belle (Duncan) Holder, Susie Holder.

The last picture is of Enos Melvin "Gid" Holder and family. This photograph features from left to right: Enos Melvin "Gid" Holder, Wayne Holder, Gerald Holder, and Sharlene (Foster) Holder.

Thank you, Gerald Holder for sharing these photographs.
