My grandmother Adelheid "Ida" Pohl is the young lady standing on the right. Her sister Mary is standing on the left and her friend Ameila Blakley is kneeling in front. The gentlemen are probably their boyfriends and their names are unknown.

This photograph was probably taken prior to 1910, the year in which Ida married John Stewart. The location is probably Linhart near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Notice the four onlookers in the background. Getting your picture taken in your dress clothes must have been a spectacle. Perhaps the group is on their way to a social function, or just returned from church.

The original is in the possession of Mike Voisin (mounted on cardboard, 6-3/8 by 5-3/8 inches).
