It's estimated that this photograph was taken around 1904, probably in the Masonville area, of the surviving Whitman Siblings. This is a very well preserved photograph with a minimal of de-silvering.

The surviving children of Stephen and Mary Ann are (standing l to r): Rufus Whitman (1843 - 1914), Harvey W. Whitman (1845 - 1912), John Whitman (1858 - 1924); (sitting l to r): Maria Whitman Broad (1835 -1906), Louise Whitman Tiffany (1837 - 1906), Samantha Whitman Dexter (1851 - 1919), Emma Whitman Couse (1853 - 1933). The siblings that have already passed on are Sarah Ann Whitman Woodmansee (1839 - 1896), James F. Whitman (1841 - 1883), and Bertha E. Whitman Mosher (1848 - 1890).

This photograph was from the collection of Helen Pearsall Cooley (1902 - 1996) and her close cousin Lila Couse Stoddard Phillips (1911- 1992) had identified the Whitman Siblings. Helen and Lila were both born in Masonville, Delaware, NY and interested in genealogy.
