In my opinion (my guess) this photo is of the extended family of Leonard Luther Leach (1878 - 1953) and wife, Dora G. Flener Leach (1883 - 1942) shown as # 34 and 35 below. They had three sons and no daughters: Corby Leach, who died an infant; Sherrill Leach (1912 - 1965) # 12 below; and Cosby D. Leach (1917 - 1996) # 2 below. At the time of this photo, Leonard Luther and Dora had no grandchildren.
Leonard Luther Leach had four siblings: First - Lewis Herbert Leach, who died before this photo was made; Second - Suzanna Jane Leach, who married Herschel Thomas Porter, and they had five children: Mabel Charles Porter, Martin Leonard Porter, Martha (Mattie) Angeline Porter (md Cecil Wayne Leach) [# 24 and 38 in photo], Herbert McHenry Porter and Nancy Corrine Porter; Third - James Henry Leach (1870 - 1945) who married Susan Mary Jones (1873 - 1917) [one child, Hinton Taylor Leach 1899 - 1988 who md Gladys T. Bennett # 25 below] and next married Zella May Hall (1880 - 1970) # 29 below; and Fourth - Charles Arthur Leach (1873 - 1934) who married Lula Bell Arnold (1877 - 1898) [one child, Arthur Lee Leach 1896 - 1943 and next married Joanna Hughes (1884 - 1960) {eight children).
My guess is that the other people in the photo are cousins of Leonard Luther Leach. Perhaps some are more directly related to his wife, Dora Flener.
