Owen and Sarah Jane (Severance) Teeple family

Owen F. Teeple and Sarah Jane Severence were married at Norfolk County, Ontario on January 18, 1875.  As far as I know they had 9 children: Sewell Alexander (Alex) born November 24, 1875, Mary Etta (Meta) born June 4, 1877, Frances Amelia born March 23, 1879, Carrie Rosamond born January 06, 1881, Owen Victor born April 3, 1883, Helen Julia born May 2, 1884, Janet Murial born June 30 1893, Martha Olene (Olene) born October 25, 1895, and Vivian Elois born April 23, 1897.

The identifications are still being worked out, but until I hear otherwise I am tentatively identifying the 5 in the back row (l to r) as: Helen, Carrie, Frances, Mary Etta and Alex.  3 younger children in front (l to r): Olene, Janet and Vivian.  Woman in chair: Sarah Jane (Severance) Teeple with Vivian on her lap.  Missing from the photo is Owen Victor who would have been 17 at the time of the photo, and Owen Fares Teeple - the father of this bunch.  I suspect this picture was taken in 1900 - possibly at the time of Lorraine Russell's baptism. (Not the Lorraine who married Jim Gehringer - she wasn't born until 42 years later.  The Lorraine who was possibly baptised in 1900 was the Aunt of Lorraine Gehringer, and older sister of Fares Russell.  Does that make it clear?)

This photo was sent to me by Georgia Cooper, another genealogist researching the Severance family.
