I don't know which John Reynolds this is, but he would be about the same age as Jabe, I suppose. As for the two bottom photos - on the left is Mabel (Wells) Merricks, daughter of Charles Wesley and wife of Walter B. Merricks - on the right is "Daddy's G'Ma Palmer's House - Mama & Daddy lived w/ her". This photo and note came from Miss Mabel's granddaughter, so I am assuming G'ma Palmer would be Miss Mabel's grandmother, Betty Ann Grant Palmer who lived at Worlds.
