DescriptionA group of seventeen men and women stand outside, in front of a large shrub. Another man stands just off-camera. Four women sit on the ground in front of the people standing. A dog sits on the ground in front of them, looking straight at the camera. This group is the same as the one depicted in 1988.133.333. The image was taken at the time of Elizabeth "Bessie" Cheney Cowles' wedding. Ednah Parker Cheney (Underhill), Emily Cheney (Learned), Elizabeth Cheney (Cowles), Theodora Cheney (Dorey) and Helen Cheney (Bayne) are all present in the image.
