On the far right is Chancellor Herbert W. Wey. Next to him is Mrs. Johnny Walker, wife of Mr. Johnny Walker who is standing next to her. Mr. and Mrs. Walker had five daughters so the other women in the image are probably their daughters. The two men are unknown. I do recall that one of their daughters was physically impaired.
