This picture is dated April 1912. It is my grandparents, Helen Elizabeth Smith and John Waldo Kirkham. Mom was 15 and Pop was 16. Although I dont have proof, I believe they were married in 1916, probably in Kentucky because we cant find records in Indiana. Moms mother and her step-father lived in Cloverport, Kentucky at the time and there was a court house fire that destroyed most records. In the background, you can see stacks of lumber. I dont know where the picture was taken, but Pop had a sawmill on Valley Road in Corydon when I my mother was a little girl. I can remember it when I was a little girl, too. The sawdust looked like a mountain to me.
