This is an old snapshot from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.
This photo was taken near Dyersville Iowa. Must have been a family get together that included a dog! I think those are Model T’s in the background. I would date this photo to the 1920’s sometime.
Dyersville Iowa..the name should have rung a bell with me..it was the scene of a famous Iowa movie and one of my favorites..can you guess which one?
Thanks for stopping by. Do come again:)
This is a great photo to study. I double-clicked to enlarge it and enjoyed seeing the faces, haircuts, body sizes, clothes, "the dog," and even noticing that there was only one person who had on eyeglasses.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a church group to me. Are those "baptizing" robes?
ReplyDeleteIf anyone in the photo were my family - I would love to have this one!!
That man toward the center may have on a robe..I have never seen a "Baptizing robe". Interesting concept! :)
Deletehttp://www.discipleshistory.org/study-guides/baptism shows something like what I mean...
DeleteI don't believe the subject I. The center is wearing a robe. In fact, I don't see any robes. Furthermore, the subject in the center appears to be an old woman.
DeleteWonderful photo!
