All the C. Yarger children are not represented in the photo)

Son of Christian Yarger - possibly Franklin Reed Yarger - Photo taken in Hastings, Adams Co Nebraska. He lived in Marysville, Marshall Co KS and died in Omaha, Douglas Co NE. Franklin Reed Yarger lived in Marysville, Marshall Co, KS and died in Omaha, Douglas Co, Nebraska. Of the Christian Yarger sons, James Lynn lived in Freeport, Thomas Milford lived in Stordin, Minnesota, William Coats lived in Stephenson Co, IL and Hiram Mudge lived in Lena, Stephenson, IL therefore by process of elimination I believe the man is Franklin Reed Yarger. Hastings, Nebraska is in Adams Co. on the southern border of NB and Marysville, KS in on the northern border of KS southeast of Adams Co. so they are not far from another and it is reasonable that he had a photo taken there.
