There is an earlier 2008 post on clmroots about the 1904 Rocky Ford Crossing Sunday School photo. Click here to view the original black and white version of the photo along with details about who is in the photo. In this post, I want to share the colorized version of the Rock Ford Crossing Sunday School photo. Rock Ford Crossing was in Grady County, Oklahoma.

| Rocky Ford Crossing Sunday School 1904 (colorized) |
Charles Leffel (our ancestor) is the 2nd on the far right side and his wife, Caldona, is next to him (2nd from the right). Grandma Baldwin (Mabel Leffel) is the cute little girl in the 2 row back, right in the middle, and just behind all the boys sitting in the front row. Mabel is standing to the left of the girl in the white dress. She has a cute pouty face, pigtails with bows, and a dress made of the same material as her mother, Caldona.
Grandma Baldwin would have only been four years old when this photo was taken. So it is the earliest photo we have of Mabel Leffel Baldwin. Below is a close up of Mabel from the above photo. Isn't she cute😊

I really like the colorized photo. It makes everyone in the photo look so real. Grandma was so dang cute. Some of the cousins looked just like grandma when they were young, especially Barb. Everyone used to say “You look like a Baldwin” but maybe they should have said “You look like a Leffel”
Have really enjoyed pictures you have posted, these are GREAT! Again thank you for all you have done to preserve Leffel family heritage. Have mapped the way to Rocky Ford, will send it soon.
So Cute!! I never though of grandma as a cute little girl before. She was always just grandma - always cooking, cleaning, and taking care of her large family. Thanks.
Love-love the colorized version of the group, especially after comparing it to the black and white version. You are right - Mabel is adorable.
Thanks for sharing.
