Family Style Christmas Dinner
Group portrait of several people sitting or standing around a table with a meal displayed on it. All the women, and one man, are folding their hands as if in prayer. Caption reads: "A family style Christmas dinner was enjoyed by four residents of the Community Home for the Aged and Convalescent Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Mamie W. Lewis, 3244 N. 14th st. Gathered around the table are (from left) Mrs. Frankie Thompson, 80, a guest; Mrs. Mattie Carter, 59, guest; Mrs. Lewis; Mrs. Lillie Graham, who cooked the dinner; Hayes Harris, 74, guest; Mrs. Betty Rowe and Mrs. Leroy Mitcham, assistant hostesses, and Mrs. Estella Ford, 48, guest.
