DescriptionNine women stand or sit outside in front of trees and brush. The image was taken in Marlborough, so the body of water visible to their left is probably Lake Terramuggus. All of the women wear bonnets. Three stand in the back row and six sit on the ground in front of them. Included in the group are Helen (Cheney) Bayne, Emily (Cheney) Learned, Mary Lydia (Brainard) Cheney, Ednah (Cheney) Underhill, Harriet Bowen (Cheney) Cowles and Theodora (Cheney) Dorey.
