"This picture first belonged to Sally Mallory, then to her daughter Emeline Mallory Utley, then to her daughter Mary Ann Utley Skeele, then to her daughter Lillei (?) Skeele Barnes, then to her daughter Harriett Eva Barnes Eastwood, then to her daughter Dorothy Eastwood who is to have this picture when Irving Mills is through with it. Sally Mallory was Irving's great great grandmother and she had no picture when first married and it always hung by the fire place in her little log cabin home. If Dorothy Eastwood should not be living it should go to Robert Barnes."
