Auto Party Speculation

This old photo is on display in the Hobart Historical Society museum, captioned "Dr. Faulkner in her Winton." No one else is identified. No date is given.

That leaves room for me to engage in reckless speculation!

Obviously, some of those people must be Dr. Clara's favorite motoring companions, right? — aside from the child with her in the front seat, who may be one of her grandchildren. Immediately behind her, well, that's probably her husband, Sam Faulkner. Then, in the back seat, on the left is Constance Chester, on the right her husband Charles; in the middle — uh, let's say that's Mary Kipp.

All of this is pure conjecture. Or rather, wishful thinking, because if those two in the back aren't Constance and Charles Chester, I'll probably never know what they looked like.

I'm thinking that I also want it to be Constance and Charles as well, as I haven't been able to locate anyone in the family that has any pictures of them. They do seem like the type of people who would have their photos taken at any opportunity! Just sayin'...

Yes, that is Charles and Constance Chester in the back seat with Mary Kipp seating between them.
