This is a scan of a page from a photo album created by Margaret Agness Watson Cooke, Barry, Pike County, Illinois. She evidently received a Brownie camera for Christmas 1912 and took photos of family and friends in Barry and surrounding areas, and on a visit to Henrietta, Clay County, Texas to visit the R.H. Palmer family. Their daughter Bess Mona Palmer, later married Margaret's brother Brett. Some photos were removed and glued into copies of the books Margaret's parents created about their families' histories.

This page has the first images of the woman who will marry Margaret's brother Bret. Bess Mona Palmer was born and raised in Henrietta Clay County, Texas, but had roots in Barry. Her mother, Ora Stearns, was born and raised there, and graduated from Barry High School. Her father, Robert Henry Palmer, moved to Barry as a child, graduated from Barry High School and moved to Texas for the opportunities offered there. The family visited Barry frequently and the Palmer children spent parts of their summers there with their Stearns grandparents.
