Mary Permelia G. Ferguson and Wear Relations

The girl in the photo is Mary Permelia G. Ferguson (b. March 7, 1893 in Bradley Co., AR., d. Apr. 6, 1969 in Paragould, Greene Co., AR)
She is the daughter of Permelia Catherine "Catie" Singer (b. Aug. 22, 1856 in Bradley Co., AR., d. Aug. 27, 1933) and John Jordan Ferguson (b. June 3, 1850 in Chester Co., SC, d. Dec. 11, 1912 in Holly Springs, Bradley Co., AR.)
John was the son of Robert Ira Ferguson (b. May 24, 1803 in Chester Co., SC and d. Sept. 19, 1880 in Bradley Co., AR.) and Mary Ann Nichols.

The men in the photo are Hamilton Tipton "Tip" Wear (in the hat, sitting) an Uncle of Mary and father of the three boys (Mary's cousins) in the photo. Tip's sons are William Newton Wear, Tolbert H. Wear and James D. Wear. Tip Wear was married to Nancy Ann "Nannie" Singer who was the sister of Mary's mother, Permelia Catherine "Catie" Singer.

My guess is that the picture was taken sometime around 1910.
