Description
Driving the wagon is Brother Stephen Gowen; behind him is Sister Etta Goodwin. Second from the left is Eldress Harriett Coolbroth.
Note the utility pole in the background. Since the Alfred community was powered by gas and not electricity, it is probably either a telephone or telegraph pole.
