Picnic by the Skookumchuck River

Picnic by the Skookumchuck River
Picnic group by the Skookumchuck River, about 1910. The handwritten back lists, from the left: Willard Guderyan (maybe), Carl Pitzer Jr., Uncle Phillip, George Pitzer, Wm. Guderyan (maybe, sitting on the fence), Leonora Pitzer, Herbert Schaefer, Uncle Otto and Aunt Helen. A possible “Dora Guderyan?” entry appears crossed out. Grandmother is in front of Otto; the girl next to Aunt Helen is unidentified. Also named are Aunt Hattie and Uncle Bob Teeter, Lona Pitzer, Aunt Selma (seated), Walter Eshom (arms folded), Selma Teeter, Alonzo, Uncle Carl Pitzer and Harold Teeter (seated). The lady next to Selma Teeter and two young men are unidentified. The final note appears to identify Julia Eshom with Helen in front of Grandmother, and another seated lady as unknown. Several readings and their exact positions remain uncertain.
