A picture with some of their children

Standing, from Left to Right.

Bertha Eames (1895-1948) Sam's daughter from his previous marriage.

Dorothy Eames Black (1918- ), Martha and Sam's adopted daughter. (She is the daughter of Mary Etta Riley and an unknown father. Mary Etta's parents were Martha and John Riley. So Dorothy was actually Martha's granddaughter, but raised in the Eames household as a daughter after her mother Mary died.)

Verna Elaine Eames Nickel (1915-2001)

Hannah Ruth Eames Hansen (1908- ).

Julia Belle Riley Shelton (1896-1981). Martha's daughter with John Riley.

Seated

Samuel Thomas Eames (1870-1950), Martha Veletta Morgan Riley Eames (1877-1960).

Picture taken before 1948 (Probably closer to 1940).

This picture is another take on the picture at the top of the page, only with a different seating arrangement.
