We know Mr. Herbert Vail best for being our Deacon for several years. His love for bees is his recreation. He is holding a comb of honey, taken from one of his hives. The Minister loved his Deacon, but more, he feared his Deacon’s bees. So, after taking this picture he beat a hasty and somewhat undignified retreat.
Across the road we find Everett Neelans plowing. This is picturesque as well as a common sight all over our farms.
This picture has me guessing. It was taken somewhere in Wallop, but where and the names of the children I cannot tell.
