A picture of Aley Jane Pruitt Lackey

Thanks to Christie Ammirati for this, the only known picture of Aley Jane Pruitt Lackey(1844-1911), taken in about 1907 in Oklahoma or Kansas. Seated to her right is Annie Lackey Houser, the youngest daughter of her and Albert Lackey. Annie would only have been 8 years old at the time of the murders.
(BTW, if anyone knows the identities of the other children, Christie would greatly appreciate it.)

A young witness to the hanging

This photo is (reportedly) of Oscar Lackey (1878-1946) who as a young lad only a week from his 7th birthday was urging his uncle Al Lackey to jump as the wagon was moved from underneath him.
