James Noel Worsham furnished the following 1913 Worsham family photo, taken in Joiner City, Carter Co, OK.  Included in the photo are son Jeptha Fry Worsham, son Frederick Oscar Perry holding his dau Lillian Irene Perry, dau Audry Worsham, dau Julianna Worsham Moore, son Thomas Jefferson Worsham; father Samuel Jackson Worsham, son Richard Lester Perry, mother Mary Ella Palmer Perry Worsham (her first husband was Guy T. "Rat" Perry), son William Frederick Perry, dau Sophia Adelia Worsham McNutt holding her dau Cleta Juanita McNutt Wood, Oleda Burkleo Jones, dau Mary Ella Worsham Burkleo holding her dau Mary Irene Burkleo Bailey, Vernon Burkleo; Mary Edith Perry (White, Sanford), Norma McNutt Stansbury, Aurora Marie McNutt McNees, Rossie Estelle McNutt Barnes, Veda Burkleo Bridwell.  Samuel did not allow spouses in this photo, hence Jeptha's and Fred's wives are missing, along with several of the daughter's husbands.  Thomas Jefferson Worsham was tall, very tall - in fact he is standing in a hole that he dug.
