groupatbethel.jpg519 viewsThis photo was taken at the Amos Parks farm in the Bethel community about 1915. According to my aunt, a version of it was published in The Declaration in Dec. 1963. I can ID a few people but most of them I don't know. I don't even know the occasion for the photograph. A cousin of mine has the original of this one and she has given me permission to share it out.
