DescriptionView of Hannah Latimer Cheney standing outside. She is wearing overalls with a sweater and has a bow in her hair. She is holding what is probably a shovel. The handle is in her right hand and the head of the tool is submerged in the ground in front of her, underneath her right foot. There is a patch of disturbed dirt in front of her. The ground behind her is smooth and there is no grass growing on it. It may be a dirt road. There are a few trees in the background.
