About this postcard

A black-and-white photograph shows several women in long dark coats and hats walking with a young child along a rutted dirt road that curves across a hillside. Patches of snow sit in the gullies beside the road, wooden utility poles carry wires into the distance, and plain frame buildings appear at the left and right edges of the frame. The names Mary Henke, Jessie Henke, and Earnest Henke Junior are written on the back, likely identifying the group. No place is recorded, so the location and occasion remain unknown.
