“I found in my family's old albums the attached photo.
There is no identifying info on the back, and I haven't found anyone
who can tell me who these people are. Because all of my family lines
lived in Muhlenberg, I think these folks could well have lived there,
too…If they are not related to me, I'd be glad to pass the original photo along to someone who would treasure it.” - Fran
