Kizziah Temple and Robert Semple Powell and children

This photo is my great grandfather Robert Semple Powell and his second wife Kizziah "Kizzie" Temple with some of their children.

From left to right --
Troy Bryant Powell, Robert Buford Powell, Ruth Mae Powell, Mary Verna? Powell, Carrie Agnes Powell DuBose holding her second child Leta Mae DuBose (Kelley), R. S. Powell, Kizziah Temple Powell, Vera? Powell, and Harley Womack Powell.

I am not certain of the two people with ? beside their names. I may have them reversed.

Most of these are Kizzie's children, but my grandmother, Carrie Agnes Powell (DuBose) is a daughter of Robert and his first wife, Caroline Elizabeth Spears.

I believe that my grandmother, Carrie is standing behind her father R. S. Powell - she is quite pregnant with her third child (her first daughter died when young, age of 4 or 5). Carrie is holding her second oldest child Leta May DuBose (Kelly) who was born in 1914 and died in July 2003. The third child was Rena DuBose (Tucker) who is 87 (In Feb. 2004). Therefore I believe this photo was taken about 1917.
