description: Three young ladies, dressed in white shirtfronts, lockets and long
 white skirts are sitting on chairs in a room eating ice cream.  A young man,
 dressed in a dark suit jacket and plaid pants, eats ice cream from a large
 ladle.  The ice cream tin and an extra plate sit on a wooden chair in front of
 the young ladies.  The room holds other wooden chairs and a podium, behind the
 people.  A map of the United States and a framed certificate are on the back
 wall.  The room appears to be either a church or a court room.  On the reverse
 of the photograph is written "Rev. Germany eating cream.  Misses Whitney,
 Christine Davison and some other young lady.  Note: Rev. Germany pastor of 1st
 Methodist Episcopal Church 1906 - 1909."
