Description
The Burkhalter family men pose for a family portrait. A large majority of the group lived in Pennsylvania, including James L. Burkhalter of Galesburg, Illinois (second from left). James's parents, David Burkhalter (1809-1890) (perhaps in the center) and Mary Ann Marks (1813-1882) had seven sons, one of which died at an early age. It is likely this photograph includes James's brothers David, David Franklin, William E., Wayne, John, and Charles M. Burkhalter.
