Who can date and caption this photo?
 
Well, They appear to be looking at an eclipse, so if I wasn't so lazy, I would go look up the dates for eclipses both sides of the year 1900.

 
It was before the depression of 1919 or the depression of 1929 because they have no holes in their bib overalls!
 
Looks like someone sent a global family text message, but I would have guessed eclipse also.
 
1896 in Boyd, Texas when it was reported that an unindified object from the sky crashed into a windmill on a doctors farm.
The caption could read, Now we will hear of UFOs everywhere.
 
Solar eclipse, August 31, 1932.

I just found the photo, and I think it's pretty darned neat!

In the back row are my Dad, Robert, "Slim", (a friend of the family), my Grandmother Katie, my Grandfather Peter, "Ted", and "Clifford". (Not sure if the last two were family friends, or possibly farmhands.)

In the front row, my Aunt Mary, my Aunt Olivia, and my Uncle Bill.

Thankfully, the annotated the back of the photo!
