Photo is of Lucille (oldest) and Fern Major with Anna M.
Britain at Willard B. Britain's house in Galt Township. The writing on the
back says
"They live just 1/2 mile from here". Anna and her husband, Frank
J. Britain came from Oregon to Kansas in about 1919 to help Frank's father
who was in failing health. They returned to Oregon sometime in 1920 and
never returned to Kansas to live. The dog belongs to Willard Britain.

Township, Rice County, Kansas. She and her husband Lowell E. Peverley are
