Marguerite Talcott stands on a porch with five of her children: Betty (later, Elizabeth Talcott Brandt), Rodney (Rodney D. Talcott Jr.), Tom (Tom Meade Talcott), and Peggy (later, Marguerite Talcott Shield). The smallest child is misidentified as another Betty on the negative sleeve, but is probably Frank R. Talcott, who would have been about 3 when this photo was taken. A sixth child, Patricia Ann Talcott is not pictured, who would have been 10.
Betty Talcott kneels outside, holding a book in her arms. A dog lie on the ground in front of her. Seated are [probably] Frank Talcott (misidentified as Betty) and Rodney D. Talcott Jr., who is holding what looks like a booklet. Standing behind everyone is Marguerite Talcott (the mother), and Peggy Talcott, resting her hands on the shoulders of Tom Talcott.
