On the left a woman is posed sitting in a buggy pulled by two horses. A man os visible through the doorway. The mill was owned and operated by George Washington Cooper, the father of Hugh Cooper, an engineer who built the original Dneiperstroy Dam in the Soviet Union. The boy may be Hugh Cooper. A small sign on the building reads: Spaulding. Takes the Lead. Wagons." |
