The Turn-of-the-20th Century snapshots of
the Blake & Clark Families
"1909"
#2 - L-R: Andrew Longacre (5 yo); Mary F Milbank (5 yo); Alfred & Frederick Longacre (3 yo); & James B. Longacre (~9 mo)
#1 - L-R: Back row - Harriett Burr Blake Longacre, Andrew Longacre, James B. Longacre, Sarah F. Blake
Front row - Mary F. Milbank, Alfred & Frederick Longacre.
Photographs #1-3 are obviously taken the same day, but I'm not sure the occasion. I'm guessing they are taken at "Bonnie Brook," in part because of the style of the porch railing behind the five children.
Just for clarification: Mary is the daughter and youngest child of Frances Blake Milbank, Adeline's oldest sister. Mary was born the same year as Andrew (Harriette's eldest son). Not knowing which of the twins is which, identifying Frederick & Alfred only identifies that that boy is one of the twins but not which twin he might be.
#3 - L-R: Back row: Harriett, James, Sarah
Front row: Mary, Frederick & Alfred, Andrew
The ages of the children suggest #4 is also 1909 but a different day than #1-3 (different clothes). Also, Avery - Adeline's niece - was born Aug. 29, 1908. The porch railing indicates it's at "Bonnie Brook."
#4 - L-R: Andrew Longacre, Frederick or Alfred Longacre, James Longacre, Grandma Sarah, Avery H. Blake, Alfred or Frederick Longacre.
These are from 1911 and the gathering seen in the "July 1911, Whole Dam Family" photographs on the Blake Family Photographs page.
The porch railing indicates this isn't at Bonnie Brook.
