This photograph was taken Wednesday, 29 July 1891 in Shawano, Wisconsin. Emma Eberlein made the following comment in her diary:

“We four girls had our photo taken today, can get the proof tomorrow. If I spoil the group this time, I will vow to never have another taken. My mouth always will hang down at the corners in opposition to all laws of Physiology I ever learned. For there it is definitely stated that the corners of a merry person’s mouth are drawn upward.”
