Virginia wrote on this picture that it was taken in Holbrook about 1920. I think it must have been a few years earlier, as Dan and Harold look too young to be 11 and 9. Dan was born in 1909 and Harold in 1911. I'm not sure whether the girl is Marjorie (1913) or Virginia (1916). My guess is this is Marjorie. This is the only picture we have of Edythe after her wedding pictures. She is very thin, a result of her tuberculosis. From all reports she was friendly and gregarious and apparently kept her children very clean as Dan and Harold won an award for being the cleanest boys in the scout troop when they were older.
