on back of picture in ink says, " Alice Moore"; in pencil says, "Dear Grandma, We wish you a happy birthday & many happy returns of the day. Taken in Sep 1914." Ginger had a typed note on this that says, "The 'Alice Moore' is in EMD's script, probably dictated by Abi Van Houten Dawson, her mother. The infant looks like the one in the frilly dress, in studio photo--but that's just a guess."
Picture from the collection of Ginger Young: vhy@comcast.net. Ginger is the granddaughter of Selina Jenks VanHouten of Lenox.
