Dorothy Wasson & Unidentified WomanDescription
A sepia-toned snapshot of two women standing in a field, cheating away from the camera and sharing a smile. The woman on the left is tall and thin, wearing a cloche sunhat, a sleeveless white top with a patterned trim and white pants. The woman on the right is slightly shorter and brunette, wearing an all-white outfit, a small sombrero, and black Mary Jane shoes. She holds an unknown white material with both hands. A stock of some sort stands tall next to the woman on the right, surpassing her in height.Photograph Details

This snapshot comes from Earl, Dollie, and Dorothy Wasson's family photo album. The photographs in this album are largely unidentified, though they may depict members of the Wasson, Marlin, Smith, Gilliland, and Clouse families. Many of the photographs were taken in Noble Township, though some may have been taken in Liberty Township or Bartholomew County, including Hope (Haw Creek Township), Rugby, and Columbus. Some photographs, especially those depicting WWI barracks and camps, were likely taken out of state and overseas.
