(For ease of reference, lets name these figures, ok? The woman in the black coat is Big Girl; the woman reaching out we'll call Woman; the girl in white is Elbows, and the little kid is LK...lol)
Another thing we have to consider is who the photographer was. Who did they know in 1925 with a camera? Well, Ida Naber, and we know they visited each other fairly often. That summer, Ida was 23, and her sis Walburga was 27. If they were visiting, taking pictures was a given.
But at 10, mom wouldn't have been as tall as 'Big Girl' in the photo, and would have been dressed more like 'Elbows'...so maybe the 'Woman' was grandma Margaret, and 'Big Girl' was Walburga...and at this moment, Linda was still combing her hair or something. Was it the day this ▼ pic was taken? And, which farm was this? The Janson farm in Buckman, or the Naber farm in Bancroft, Iowa?
(Yah, it's also possible that 'Big Girl' was a 'Hired Girl', but that's not as fun as speculating !)
