Creator: unknown
Description: In this photograph, an older man and woman are standing together in front of a tree. Both are dressed up: the man is wearing slacks, a striped shirt, and a tie with a hat; the woman is wearing a long white dress. They are both holding objects in their hands and the woman is looking at hers, rather than at the camera. The man is standing to the left and has his left arm around her shoulders. In the left of the photograph, an old-style automobile is partially visible. In the background to the right, the area where they are standing is covered in grass and brush with trees and mountains in the distance. At the bottom of the photograph, the names W. W. Bogel and Eda Jenkins Hubbard are handwritten in ink. (The name "Bert [...] Hubbard" was written and then scratched out.) A handwritten note on the back of the photograph says, "Bloys Camp Meeting circa 1913-1916."
