Written on back of photograph:
"This little home was built by Henry Bernhardt perhaps about 1904. They kept a cow and sold a few quarts of milk. I went there every day to get our 2 quarts. In the picture are: Your mother, Roy, Henry, & Helen. I believe the house consisted of 2 little rooms. The toilet was on rear of lot. (signed by) Lydia Glomstad"
