Maggie von der Sump, center, is holding a ring sausage as two teams of three women each pull on opposite ends of a thin rope. Maggie's sisters Leta, far left, and Hattie, second from right, are on opposing teams. The other women are identified on the negative envelope as Jessie Underwood and the "three Sims girls." They are posing in front of the Von der Sump farmhouse. The front porch is nearly hidden by a flowering vine, and there are clumps of lilies and other blooming plants in front of the women.
