Who Are They? A Family Involved in a Peach Harvest in Northwest Louisiana

My title is more of an assumption than a fact. This seems to be a peach harvest, and the adults might belong to the same family. I’m not sure where this was taken, but it was probably in Northwest Louisiana, as these photos were found in the Marguerite Cook Clark Collection, most of which were from that area.

I thought that the people in the photo would be easy to find, but I have yet to positively identify any of them. 

Dating this was also difficult. The clothing might put this around 1910. 

The back of the photo has writing identifying all four persons. The man is identified as Kyle, the woman on the left is Checkie [maybe Chickie], the woman on the right is May, and the older woman sitting in the middle is Grandma Ha. . . - could be Harris, Hattie, Hallie, or any number of words beginning with Ha. 

I looked for Kyle as a given name in four years of census records in Bienville and surrounding counties. I came up with nothing but noted that Kyle could be his surname. I found this surname spelled as Kyle, Kyles, and Kiels.

Does this sound like your family? This post can be shared from my Moments in Time Facebook page.
