DescriptionView of Horace Bushnell Cheney, Sr. and his daughter Hannah Latimer Cheney standing outside on a flat stone path in what might be a garden. He has his left arm around her waist and is holding the other arm in front of him. Her left arm is reaching behind her back and her right arm is in front of her, holding what might be a cigarette. Horace is wearing a suit jacket, dress pants, striped shirt and a checkered tie. Hannah is wearing a short-sleeved shirt that is tucked into a long skirt. Both shirt and skirt have large buttons down the front. She is wearing canvas sneakers. There is a building in the background on the left and another in the background on the right.
NotesDate note: 1936 is written on verso. This picture must have been taken shortly before Horace died. He passed away on August 15, 1936 in Santa Fe, New Mexico as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident.
