ACTUAL PHOTOS of the REAL PEOPLE
who are CHARACTERS in the BOOK

This photo of Ida and Ollie Jenkins was made in Muskogee, Oklahoma in 1927, four years after they were reunited and moved to Muskogee. Ida is holding Lindell and Ollie is holding Jack. The ice cream wagons in back were owned by Ollie, his father, and his brother, who were briefly in business selling ice cream (probably only part-time since Ollie had a full-time job as a steel worker at the Muskogee Iron Works).
