This is a picture of Jimmy's grandparents and mother, John Gentry Drake (07/04/1870 - 11/09/1920),
his wife, Sallie Johnson Butler Drake (07/17/1873 - 08/13/1943) and their youngest daughter,
Kathlyn Vivian Drake (01/17/1916 - 01/07/1987). The picture was taken around 1917 or 1918.

I don't know who the rest of the folks are, but I would suspect the lady on the left is
Sallie Drake's sister. Notice the very close resemblance?
