Who
- The girl blocking/herding the turkeys is Hilda Ida Brunken[1], daughter of William Leopold and Clara Marie (Petersen) Brunken.
What
I suspect Hilda has the responsibility of keeping the turkeys in place so the photographer can snap a picture of them. Note her stance, one I have posed in the past to make myself look bigger while blocking/herding farm animals or chickens or turkeys or geese or whatever. However, the turkey tom is not taking kindly to this – he is protecting the hen while ruffling his feathers and saying “Gobble, Gobble, Gobble”.
When
About 1916[2]. There are no leaves on the trees next to the house so this is winter time.
Where
Near Lahoma, Oklahoma – The William Brunken Lahoma family home is in the background.
Notes
- Compare the girl in this picture with that of Hilda in the “William and Mary Brunken Children – 1916” posting. Note in particular the dress collar, belt, skirt, stockings. Possibly she is even carrying the same doll.

Compare 2 - In addition to Hilda being in the current picture as well as the photograph in the “William and Mary Brunken Children – 1916” posting, both pictures are the same size, on the same cutdown postcard film stock, and have the same border – the pictures were likely taken on the same film load and possibly on the same day. The two snapshots are shown below in their original form – not color corrected and untrimmed:
