The Turn-of-the-20th Century snapshots of
the Blake & Clark Families
Decoration Day, May 30, 1910
#1 -- "The Bonnie Brook Baseball Team"
Best guess of the people are L to R: Adeline Clark, Frederick H. Blake, Helen (Avery) Blake, Bertram T. Blake, Francis Blake Milbank, Lucien Clark, Amy Blake, Nichols Milbank, Sarah F. Blake
{Children in the background: Andrew Longacre & either Frederick or Alfred Longacre}
Photograph #2 raises the question of year - that it might have been taken in 1910 although Adeline has 1911 in the caption. The presence of a baseball bat on the left leads me to think this is a photograph of "The Bonnie Brook Baseball Team." It is possible that it is Decoration Day 2011, although it's equally possible that it's Decoration Day 2010 but on another day than when #1 was taken.
#2 -- "May 30 1911 'Bonnie Brook'"
L-R: Back row - Bertram T. Blake, Amy Blake [possibly Helen A. Blake], Nichols Milbank, Francis Blake Milbank, Sarah Blake, Harriett Longacre, Frederick H. Blake.
Front row: Lucian & Adeline Clark
#3-5 - I love that the photographer decided to photograph the chaos of a family attempting to get everyone together for a group shot.
