The old man is J. Kinsley Putnam, Pager's father. Beth, Bill and I think that the baby boy in all the photos is John. That would make sense. John was #2, and the first boy. I think Mother found him a LOT different from Beth. And then there were two more boys after John! Mother never had a brother, having grown up with only sisters. I think she found raising boys an unexpected adventure, one that she wasn't initially prepared for, and my guess is that she put this up on the wall to help her keep her sanity.

Laura recently found this in our attic. I had forgotten about it. It was on the wall in the farm house when I was growing up (click on the photo to enlarge):
