1936 (est.) - Stevenson Family in Berwick

This photo is of the Stevenson family. It was taken around 1936 at their home on the corner of Front and Orchard Streets, Berwick.

Their yard had a large magnolia tree whose blooms attracted people driving by to view it.

The only people identified are their neighbors, Clara and Herman Beck holding their children Herm Jr. and Joan. They are the 4th & 5th people from the left.

It's believed some of these folks lived in New Jersey, possibly Asbury Park or Ocean Grove. If you know more about this photo please reply, thanks.
