Narrative

Seated adults are Anna May (Dorn) Stuver, left, and her daughter Savilla (Stuver) Kiger. Standing is Adeline (Stuver) Bender, also a daughter of Anna May. The children are Savilla's sons, Walter (behind his mother), Eli (between Anna May and Savilla), and Melvin (seated on Savilla's lap). Based on the apparent ages of the boys, this photo is presumed to be from approximately 1888, prior to the birth of Savilla's youngest child, daughter Addie.

Also missing from the photo is Savilla's oldest child, daughter Alma. It is not known why she wasn't included in the photo, but she would have been in her mid-teens, and may well have been employed or living elsewhere other than with her parents by this time.
