This was the home of Henry and Josephine Smith Wasson.
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.
