Jona and Ruth (Moore?)

The Moore last name is written in pencil, but I couldn't find any link to the family. I believe the photo is from the early 1900s. I found a few matches for Ruth Moore in raleigh, but can't confirm.

Early 1920s; Joanna Mills Harrelson's House in Tabor, North Carolina

In the 1920 census, Joanna Mills Harrelson was widowed. She was listed as the head of household and had two children. Their names are Linie E and Harry Harrelson. Joanna Mills was married to Postie M Harrelson on January 26, 1911.

Joanna Mills was the sister to Annette Virgina Mills, my 2nd great grandmother.

Written on back of photo.

Aunt Joanna with Eveline and Harry. 

I'm not sure about this following picture, but it looks like Eveline Harrelson is on the left holding a cat and the young boy is Harry Harrelson.
