People Posing in Front of Log House
| View across lawn of group posing in front of a log house, which has two large windows on either side of the open door. A man and woman are sitting in chairs, and standing with them are two young women and a young man. There is a well on the far right. Probably a farm on County Road X, quarter of a mile east of the Trout Run Methodist Church, on the way to Melrose. Note on back of print reads, in part: "1/4 mile of east of Trout Run Methodist Church, on the way to Melrose. The place used to belong to a party named Stratton." |
