This is the family of George Allen Neal (10 July 1870 – 3 Apr 1946) and his wife Lula Ward (Sept 1876 – c1912), who married on 1 July 1890 in Union Parish Louisiana. Lula was the daughter of John Martin Ward and Elizabeth Meeks. George and Lula lived in eastern Union Parish near her parents in 1900. This photograph was taken around 1910 or 1911, because Lula Ward Neal died about 1912. When she died, Lavelle was about two years old and Bettie (born in 1905) was seven. This photograph was apparently taken at the Ward homeplace on which John Martin Ward and his wife lived.
