- WHAT: William and Mary Brunken Children – 1914
- FRONT ROW: Harold Carsten Brunken
- MIDDLE ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Alvin Wilhelm Brunken; Hilda Ida Brunken; Leona Cecelia Brunken
- BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Unidentified Girl with doll; Unidentified Girl with doll
- WHEN: The picture was taken late 1914 possibly after Christmas, assuming Harold is about a year old.
- WHERE: William Brunken home, Lahoma, Oklahoma
- SOURCE: Grandmother Brunken’s Photo Album
- NOTES:
- This small 2×1.5 inch broken photo was found loose in the album – it had previously been attached as there was black album paper stuck on the back. I initially hesitated to include this snapshot given that it was torn and pieces of the picture are missing. However, I felt this snapshot related to the story of the 1916 William Brunken Children picture as it was possibly taken after Christmas two years earlier.
- Alvin appears to be riding a wooden horse like Harold is riding in the 1916 picture. And, the haircut style and facial features of Alwin in this picture sure are similar to that of Harold in the 1916 picture.
- This timing would be consistent with the girls in the back row showing off their dolls that were possibly Christmas gifts.
- Any idea who the two girls in the back row are?
