Another in a series of photos from Bertha Smith Athya’s photo collection.
Unfortunately, I can only identify one girl in this photo—the first person on the left is Helen Margaret Smith.
Helen, born in November 1895, was Bertha’s sister. She would be my husband’s grand aunt.
Helen died of heart disease in March 1913 so this photo was possibly taken between 1910 to early 1913. Helen and her family lived in Paulton, Washington Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania in 1910 and was still living there at the time of her death so one could assume everyone in this photo lived there as well.
My guess is that's their school in the background.
