From left: Mrs. Margaret (Soule) Hough and her daughter, Doris Hough; Mrs. Juliet (Crocker) Merry and her son, Rodolphus Merry; Mrs. Fannie (Lewis) Look and her son, Ralph Look; Mrs. Annie (Daggett) Lord and her daughter, Constance Lord; and Mrs. Jennie (Cromwell) Clough and her son, Clifton Clough. Clifton’s father, Charles Clough, was a professional photographer, and may have been the artist behind the camera.
