Thank you to Tom Wells for donating this photograph. A caption on the back of the photograph reads: "Mr. + Mrs. Harvey Snyder & sons Archie + Osmer."
There is no date provided, but the photo was likely taken between 1910-1915. We believe Mrs. Snyder is Harvey's second wife, Minerva E. (Howard) Snyder.
