This picture was taken when Biss was 5, probably the summer of 1924. I believe it was taken on Daniel’s Farm Road, the road in front of the house. Lad is on the far left, with Ced, the blonde, partially hidden to his left. Biss is in the center and Dick on the far right. Dan was probably with them but we can’t see him. He may be behind Lad and Ced. It’s real hard to figure out what they are doing.
They somehow all look a little sad, some appear to be crying..my guess is that they got into some trouble? The child on left looks like he’s holding a broom, or a stick.
Another treasure. I’m just realizing bliss and my dad were born in the same year if she was five here. I assume you’ve scanned this at a good resolution with auto-restore? You’d be surprised to make out details invisible to your eye if you haven’t. :-)
Koji – Biss was born on Jan. 6, 1919, Dick was born Aug. 19, 1920. They were close in age and got into a lot of trouble together !!!
This IS very special, Judy!
GP – Don’t I know it !! :)
This was the time of Biss’ broken arm!
Gallivanta – Yes, we know the story of how it happened from Biss herself, and to have a picture that corresponds to the story is fabulous !!! :)
Isn’t it just!
