This picture of two boys was taken around 1911. I believe the boys are in a room in the southeast corner of the basement of the House. They are identified on the back of the photo as Thomas (in the chair) and Edward, their last name is unknown.
The next picture, circa 1914, is of (from left) Mary Kean and Ruth Lewis. Mary and Ruth were sisters (Kean was Mary's married name) and were employed as midwives at the House when it was a clinic. The boys are Mary's sons, William and Samuel - their father's whereabouts are unknown. What's interesting is the girl, who is completely unknown. She appears in a number of photos in the archival files but this is the best image we have of her. She's always holding that doll. Even on the back of this photo it lists the people as Mary Kean, Ruth Lewis, William and Samuel Kean, and a girl.
Simply "a girl." Curious.
