This is information from a family photo that includes Anna Dell Kimmel Pyatt. I do not know who is who, but, these are her relatives on her Schwartz side.

Their first appearance - on the 1900 census, Perry County, Illinois, Robert and family appeared as follows:

This family enumerated #172/173 pg 130A (ancestry.com image 19/29). Living in the same neighborhood were Robert's siblings, Frances Pyatt Baird, John L Pyatt, James M Pyatt and George W Pyatt.

When I have abstracted this family on the 1910 and 1920 census, I'm sure we will find more children born to them. If anyone can add to this line - please let me know. It appears that the two children who were born and died in the early 1900s were buried at the Galum Cemetery where Robert and Anna were later buried.
