These photographs indicated the family lived in a two-storied wood frame house, painted a dark color with white trim. There was a large yard and several smaller outbuildings. The house appears to be located in a small community along a rather large river. The family consisted of a husband and wife in their late 20s or early 30s, and three young children. There were also a few photographs of what appears to have been her parents, her siblings and their spouses and children.
