The Children of George Slowther Shelton and Caroline Almira Britton (circa 1889)

This is a copy; I do not have the original. Someone typed the names onto the photo. The only name that I question is the oldest girl in the middle. She is listed as the mother "Caroline Almira Britton Shelton (1853-1921)". I believe it should be the daughter Caroline Isabella Shelton (1875-1958).
