Photograph of People in the Snow
title Photograph of People in the Snowdescription Photograph of five people standing in the snow in front of a house. Three of the people are men - two appear to be middle-aged and the one to the right is older; they are all wearing shirts with ties under long coats as well as hats. In front of the men, there are two young children, also bundled up in coats and hats. The area where they are standing is covered in snow and they are directly in front of a fence that encloses the yard around the house. Within the yard, there are several bare trees and some power lines overhead. The house has several windows and a porch surrounded by posts and a short fence. The roof is peaked and mostly covered in snow. Related information identifies the house as the Bogels'.contributor Portal to Texas History (TPTH) -

The postcard was sent from Fort Davis March 15 and arrived in Uvalde, Texas March 17, 1918 according to the postmarks. The text, handwritten in ink, reads: "Wednesday. Well Janet how are you today? This picture was taken from some big high rocks in front of my uncle's house. There are hardly any lumber houses here - nearly all dirt or stone. Some are made of pretty pink rocks. They get the different kinds of rock from the mountains in the town or near town. Hope I'll see you again sometime. Miss Ada." The postcard was addressed to Miss Janet Harris.artist/creator Unknowncontributor Portal to Texas History (TPTH) -
