    This picture was taken at George Henry Cavil's house (3rd man front right holding a small child) in Wisconsin in either 1919 or 1920. I,
    James Cavil, obtained a copy of this picture from my father, Howard Cavil. Howard Cavil is the young boy sitting in front
    of Robert B Cavil (man in center with beard). He identified for me as many people in the photo as he could recall.
