Description

A distant view, from left to right, of Lavinia (Kellum) Jones, William H. Jones and Zella Jones on the front porch of their home in Red Bluff. The front of the house is viewed at an angle from the front lawn. Four square posts support the porch. Lavinia Jones stands between the two left posts and behind a hammock. She stands to the right of a window and to the left of the front door. William H. Jones sits in a rocking chair just up the front steps and in front of the front door. Zella Jones stands to the right of the steps and to the left of a post. A window and bicycle are behind her. A water spigot stands in the yard in front of the house. A hose connected to the spigot winds its way across the yard.

Caption

Text from negative sleeve: 751. Red Bluff, Calif. 1898. The Joneses live in Red Bluff. W.H.Jones (I think those were his initials) was agent for the S.P.R.R. Their daughter Zell Jones was a relative of Daisy Kellum, and Zell came to Los Angeles for a visit to the Kellums, and when I took father to Yreka, I came back to Red Bluff to spend a day at Red Bluff with Zell. 1. The Jones residence with Mr and Mrs Jones and Zell in the front yard. 2. 2 close ups of the porch with L to R: Mrs Jones, Mr Jones and Zell Jones. 3. 2 pictures of a picture called Little Red Riding Hood. This picture was a great joke with Daisy Kellum and she wanted a copy which accounts for these two views. 5 negatives
