I guess the females were in the house???

Could be.

The wife and I were going back and forth as to whether the boys were all related. She didn't seem to think so. Maybe. Maybe not. Could be that Capewell was itching to expose a negative, and these kids were in the right place for a shot at posterity.

Nice photo of that house. The quality of the camera's back then were quite good.

Wouldn't you like to have that car today? I bet it would be worth quite a bit in good shape.

It looks like a cemetery next to the house next door.

Even the dog stayed still for that photo. They are dressed quite well. It must have been an important day.

Nice! I am happy to see your update was very interesting. It is always a treat when someone fills you in with things that help you along with a project.

Again, thanks for posting it.

This is what I was hoping for! I figured that a relative or some other interested party would take notice, and it looks to have started!

Stay tuned - More pictures to come!!!

It's sort of a wind-blown Gibson girl. Illustrator Charles Dana Gibson had popularized the style at the time in his many pen-and-ink drawings.
