Commentary: This is taken at the same time and place as the Johns family portrait (Johns Family on Porch). Martin Johns recalls: "Mother and Dad's best friends, the Abreys, lost their two children within a few days from typhoid and my Father had to arrange their burial. The elder one would have been a few months older than I and I remember going with Dad to put flowers on their common grave when I was six or seven." See all items with this value
