I think that this photo was taken right around 1928  about six months after Winona was born, she is in the photo with her Father Donald Eckley who would have been about 22 at that time.  Winona would have been a Great-Niece of Netties and Gerties Granddaughter.

Thanks for stopping by, do come again.  Thanks to Iggy for the help sorting out the Gertie Smith/Perdue mystery:)
