The above photo was contributed by a grandson of Walter French Lusk and his wife Olive Celia (Scott) Lusk, a.k.a. "Ollie". Walter and Ollie were married in Lewis on Sept. 12, 1893. There is no identification on the back of the photo, and Walter and Olive's grandson did not recognize this family, so submitted it as "unknown" in hope that someone else might recognize them.

Thanks to the Cass County Genealogical Society and Bernice Ihrke we now have identification! The picture is of the Burnside family of Lewis. Seated on the right is Ruth Bishop Burnside. Seated in the middle with the beard is her husband William Burnside. On the left is William and the small boy on the right is Carl. Behind is Estella on the left and Walter on the right.

The photographer's imprint on the front reads "Woodward WH Atlantic Iowa". On the back is "H.E. Hammond, Successor to W. H. Woodward, Atlantic, Iowa."
