[People in an Automobile]

Description:

In this photograph, there are five people sitting in an old-style automobile with a covered top which is on an unpaved road. There are two women (one in the front seat, driving, and one in the back) and three men (one in the front seat and two in the back) and all of them appear to be dressed up. In the background, there are wooden fences, trees, and what appears to be a windmill. A handwritten note on the back of the photograph reads, "Front Seat: Everett Collins (Buster), Genevieve (Hennie) Bogel - later Mrs. E. Collins; Back seat: Mrs. W. W. Bogel, ? , A. G. (Graves) Bogel. Looks like an early Model T Ford."
