No one really is 100% certain about the date, but it seems this photo was made about August 1931 in the Longmont, Colorado area. This would be about the time of the passing of the children's mother.

The James Wesley Shipley, Sr. Family

Daughters - Left to Right, by age
Venial Viola
Bertha Mae
Ruth Mildred
Rachel Marie
Gladys Marie
Bessie Velma
LaVaughn Laverne

Sons - Seated with father
Left - James Wesley
Right - Glen

There were three other children who died in their infancy:
Clarence
Opal M.
Raymond

There are two versions of this photo, both were taken on the same day - all of the clothing is the same, the pose is slightly different. In the second photo the girls CHANGE PLACES and are ***NOT*** in birth order - you can see this clearly by comparing the clothing. THIS PHOTO IS ACCURATE WITH THE NAMES - the other photo has the names on it, in the same order for the girls, but is not correct.

In all of the Census records, draft records, his obituary - his name is NOT JOHN, but is James Wesley.

Because the photos were taken on the same day, almost the same time, I included both.

The daughters are in ORDER BY AGE:
Back Row -
Venial Viola
Bertha Mae
Ruth Mildred

Second Row -
Rachel Marie
Gladys Marie
Bessie Velma
LaVaughn Laverne

Front Row -
James Wesley, Jr.
James Wesley, Sr.
Glen - I always thought it was strange that Glen was simply, Glen, without a middle name. I have never in any record seen otherwise.
