After much consideration, this is my best guess:
Jesse Jones Lyon is 3rd
from left. Hezekiah Harrison 4th from left. Edgar Harry Lyon is far right
standing. The other 4 sons are Hezekiah's by his second wife, who is seated
3rd from left. Possibly the man seated is the oldest son, James Arthur Lyon, who
became an alcoholic, in and out of hospitals.
Young woman left front is Grace May and next to her is Essie Ruth.
If this photo was taken in 1915, two years before Hezekiah Harrison Lyon died,
the youngest girl Essie would be 12 years old and the oldest girl, Grace, would
be 31 years old. Perhaps the photo was taken 1916 or 1917 making the youngest 13 or 14.
The mother, Mary Melissa (Wise) Lyon, lived to be 99 years old.
Edgar Harry Lyon, son of Hezekiah Harrison Lyon.
Ollie Frances (Boyd) Lyon, wife to Edgar Harry.
Edgar Harry Lyon and wife, Ollie (Boyd) Lyon, lived in Larned, Kansas, several years after they married.
The two sitting are Hezekiah Harrison & Mary Melissa (Wise) Lyon. The clothing
suggests this was taken about 1912. Definitely taken before Nov 1917 because
that is when Hezekiah Harrison Lyon died. (Hezekiah Harrison Lyon lived in Fort
Scott, Kansas, and is buried in the National Cemetery because he served in Civil
War.)
This Lyon family photo has 3 women and 7 men.
This Lyon family photo has 7 women, 9 men, and 9 children.

L. NIEDEREE
First Door
South of Old Location
About 1909. Behind the counter is Walter Louis Niederee, 7 1/2 years old. His
father, Louis Niederee, about 39 years old. There is a slim possibility that the
aged man on the left is Conrad Niederee, father of Louis, who had come to
America from Germany in 1854, married in 1859 in McLean County, Illinois, and
moved to Larned after 1900, died June 1909, and buried in Larned City Cemetery.
About 1918. The young man on left could be Walter Louis, maybe 18 years old. The man on right, with a hat on his head, appears to be Louis Niederee, maybe 50 years old.
On the right, Walter Louis, maybe 20 years old. Sure wish we could see the date on the calendar to know for sure. Note the ceiling tiles and the wooden floor, as compared to the photo above with the linoleum on the floor and the falling-off-the-ceiling wallpaper. However, the ceiling light fixture is more modern in the top photo. Note the spool of string to tie up the packages.
The man in white, behind the counter, is Walter Louis Niederee. This has to be the most recent photo, because Walter Louis is an older man. The man on left could be his father Louis. The month on the calendar appears to be May, but cannot read the year. The year has to be late 1920s or early 1930s, as Walter Louis married in 1929. He had tried Pharmacy college, but then went back into his father's meat business.
Walter Louis Niederee is the man behind the counter. The man to left is unknown. Note the sign "Margarine" on left side. Surprised to learn that margarine was created in 1870s.
