So much to love about this photo!

This is an amazing photo in so many ways.  I think it could win awards!  

Mother says that whenever the cousins gathered at the farm, someone would line them up (by height?  by age?)  for their photo.  I wonder if there are other such photos out there amongst the cousins...  Can't you just hear it:  "Now, go line up in front of the woodpile..."  (Note:  wood was more plentiful in those days!)  

Twenty-odd years ago, my mother made this notation on the reverse side of the photo:

These first cousins are all grandchildren of Mama & Papa Hill.   From left, they are:  Patsy Lou Hill (b. 1931), Sylvia Smith (b. 1933), Wallace Gayle Hill (b. 1935), Willie Joe (W. J.) Winter (b. 1935), Lee Matt "Bud" Smith, Jr. (b. 1936), A. Jackson Hill (b. 1936), Sheila Faye Winter (b. 1936), and Jo Marie Hill (b. 1938).

I'm going date this photo around 1941, give or take a year.  What do you think?
