Martha Weir, had a number of old "reunion" photos so I called them Weir Reunion photos, but they should probably more accurately be called Bledsoe Reunions. She could only provide a few names for the individuals in these photos though. I hope more can be identified in the future. Can you identify anyone?

This reunion possibly occurred in 1914 if the child Minnie Weir is holding is actually Eleanor Weir.

Identified by Martha Weir: David Hugh Bledsoe & Mary Stark Bledsoe; Dick T Weir & Minnie Bledsoe Weir (possibly holding Eleanor b. Dec 1913); Oliver Starkey & Ida Mae Bledsoe Starkey; Loren Reed; Mary Weir; Mary Reed Petty;
Identified by JADS, a Richards descendant: Uriah Mahan; Edith Jane Bledsoe Reed; Bonnie Bell Reed, perhaps?
"Family Reunion 3"

I think this photo was taken about 1917. I wonder if the giant flag was there because this was during WWI war time? Minnie Weir is holding a small baby who could be Martha Weir, born in July of 1916.

"Reunion group w Flag"

This photo was probably taken in the summer or fall of 1919. Minnie Weir is holding a very young Paul Weir and he was born in November of 1918. It is possible she is holding Martha and the photo was taken about 1917...

"Family Reunion 2"

This image appears to be a wedding, perhaps; there is no obvious bride and groom but there are a lot of corsages being worn! I am guessing it was around 1921 as Paul Weir was was born in 1918 and he looks about 3 years old here. The following people have been identified in the photo so far:
Identified by Martha Weir: David Hugh Bledsoe holding Paul Weir (b.1918) & Mary Stark Bledsoe; Dick T & Minnie Bledsoe Weir; John Newton Gambill & Manara Belle “Babe” Mitchell Gambill; Mary Weir; Ethel Weir May; Mary Reed Petty; Edith Reed Kester; Martha Weir; Eleanor Weir Smith; Ruby Fern Gambill; Zilpha Rebecca Catherine Richards Garrow; Ruth Weir Motz;
Identified by JADS, a Richards descendant: Uriah Mahan & Rebecca Bledsoe Gambill Mahan; Henry Richards; Walter Richards; Edna Martha Richards Wilson; Elijah & Edith Jane Bledsoe Reed; Roy Richards; Harold & Lula Pearl Richards Ring;
