This photo of a reunion of the descendants of Peter Lewis Bonzo is dated 1907.  The location is the Bonzo Brothers Stock Farm property, which was owned jointly by Peter's sons Henry and James, who purchased the land from him.  The house pictured above can still been seen from Chapel drive, near Ellwood City, Pennsylvania.  This photo is a scan of the original, which is about 6" x 6", sepia toned, and mounted on cardstock.  The original is heavily annotated on it's back, as well as on the photo itself.  This image was contributed by Mary May who reserves all rights.

The subjects of the photo are as follows.  They are listed generally from left to right, starting in the front.   Hint:  For printing, use your "landscape" setting and Legal sized paper.  Sorry that this pic is so big.
