These people are unidentified, and I can't even guess why they are all assembled on this early morning or late afternoon, as the case may be.

A bunch of girls and young women, and two grown men. Too many children too close in age to be one family — or so I hope, for the sake of their mother. And speaking of mothers, where are theirs?



[9/15/2013 update] From a comment on my Photobucket account: "Front row, seated, left = Olive Elizabeth Melin Spreenberg (my grandmother). Standing, back row, third adult from left = Olga Melin. Standing, back row, fourth adult from left = Florence Wilhelmina Melin (my great aunt)." (Thank you, J.R.!)
