Repairing the Road

Repairing the Road | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
It appears that a set of logs was just placed on the dirt road between an automobile and a horse-drawn carriage, possibly to fix a rut. While squatting by the wicker basket, Phil Smith is handing an apple to W.A. Holt. Standing by the automobile, from left to right: Eleanor Holt, W.A. Holt, Donald DeWitt, Donald Holt, and Jeannette Holt. On the right there is a man sitting in the carriage supervising the horses.
