Here are three siblings - the offspring of Henry Mellott Neff (1826 -1880) and Mariah Jane Brown (1839 - 1900). Henry and Mariah had 14 chuildren, but 5 or 6 (not sure which) died before the age of 18.
From L-R are Ora Othello Neff (Sep 2,1869 - Dec 1 1935)
Cynthia Olive "Ollie" Conard (Oct 1867 - Dec 28, 1939) and
Lorenzo Delmar Neff ("Dell") (Nov 8, 1875 - Aug 25, 1950).
As you can see, Ora only had thumbs -no fingers. He had an unfortunate accident with a corn picker - getting both hands caught.
