This picture is in rather sad shape but I believe all the important parts are intact. I do not know who the woman on the left is but the woman in the middle is Della Meyer Rudes and the woman on the right is Marguerite "Maggie" Schnackenberg Meyer. As far as I can tell they are standing by/near the Meyer's headstone in Clay Township Cemetery. What they are doing or why is unclear.
Timeframe: Since the husband of Maggie died in 1946 and I do believe that is his headstone on the right side of the image it would be after 1946. Since Della and Maggie are both alive and appear to be in good shape and Della went in the nursing home about August of 1961, I assume it was taken between August, 1946 & August, 1961.
Where It Fits: Marguerite is the daughter of Johann Schnackenberg & Christina Koster. Della is the daughter of Marguerite Schnackenberg & George Meyer. Marguerite is the grandmother and Della is the mother of Merrill & George Rudes.
