Hold it…

Notes
It’s amazing W. F. Laraway got all the kids, the dogs, the teddy bears to hold still, but one of the adults seems to have sneezed just as he was releasing the shutter.
That canvas covered wood structure is unusual. Was it a temporary cover for a porch?
L.E.
Looks like one of the ladies in the back is trying to stifle a sneeze.
Those ladies must be exhausted from washing, starching and ironing all those white shirts.
What is on the pillow?

On the pillow? It look a crumpled handkerchief. It looks like there is a chamber pot under the tent.
JEC
I wonder if under that canvas is a sleeping porch?
Arlen Sheldrake
I wonder the occasion for the "sunday best" attire.

Wedding? Birthday? Relatives? No funeral expressions.
L.E.
The woman on the far left has something like a white rope or tube coming out of her hand.
DAVID EVANS
Happy-lucky good dog.
