Fresno, California
Pictures of LaRue's

The single thing that we know about the photographs on this page is that they were all (except the photo of the Elmore) made by studios in Fresno, California. Our Aunt, Emma Helen Hall, married Hugh William Hodgen LaRue, "Uncle Billy," and lived with him on a vineyard near Fresno. They didn't have any children. Rainey and Robert LaRue and their sisters, Lola and Bradshaw called Hugh William Hodgen LaRue, "Uncle Billy," too. Their father, Samuel Robert LaRue, was Uncle Billy's brother.

The LaRue Family Residence & Tank House in Malaga, California. More recently, some of these people have been identified as follows:
"The family on the left, I am not able to ID. The family in the middle - the gentleman with the white beard is Jabez Hodgen LaRue, next to him is Helen Christie LaRue, & I don't know the others. The family on the right in front of the horse and carriage Left to Right is Thomas LaRue Sims, Ruth Sims, Bradshaw LaRue Sims, Belle Bradshaw LaRue & Samuel Robert LaRue."

The back of the photograph on the left says simply, "Robert LaRue," Robert Jacob LaRue.

And the one on the right says "Rainey LaRue," Rainey Hodgen LaRue.

This is a picture of "Bob" LaRue's Family. Left to Right: Rainey Hodgen, Robert Jacob, Lola, & Bradshaw LaRue.

Park's; 843 Jay St.; Fresno.

The one on the left says "Thomas Sims" on its back. Thomas LaRue Sims, son of Bradshaw LaRue Sims.

The one on the right doesn't have a name on it at all. Surely he is related to the rest, but how? Possibilities include this being a photograph of Uncle Billy, himself; or perhaps it is Uncle Billy's brother, Samuel Robert LaRue. Or. . . ? And it's possible that he is unrelated, altogether.
