| Turkeys on the Brunken Farm |
Who's Who
- The girl blocking/herding the turkeys is Hilda Ida Brunken[1], daughter of William Leopold and Clara Marie (Petersen) Brunken.
Story
I suspect Hilda has the responsibility of keeping the turkeys in place so the photographer can snap a picture of them. Note her stance, one I have posed in the past to make myself look bigger while blocking/herding farm animals or chickens or turkeys or geese or whatever. However, the turkey tom is not taking kindly to this - he is protecting the hen while ruffling his feathers and saying "Gobble, Gobble, Gobble".
Date
About 1916[2]. There are no leaves on the trees next to the house so this is winter time.
Location
Near Lahoma, Oklahoma - The William Brunken Lahoma family home is in the background.
Notes
- Compare the girl in this picture with that of Hilda in the "William and Mary Brunken Children - 1916" posting. Note in particular the dress collar, belt, skirt, stockings. Possibly she is even carrying the same doll.
- In addition to Hilda being in the current picture as well as the photograph in the "William and Mary Brunken Children - 1916" posting, both pictures are the same size, on the same cutdown postcard film stock, and have the same border - the pictures were likely taken on the same film load and possibly on the same day. The two snapshots are shown below in their oringinal form - not color corrected and untrimmed:
