Do you have the marriage details for Daniel and Elizabeth?

This might be the best way to date the picture, the bicycle.

So the Bike around 1915?

when is that style of dress from?

[Northern Lass]

I think Jimmy is right and that Bike is 1915/1920

and the dresses if you google fashion for around that time looks similar
the collar on the 3rd lady from the left

The Picture could be Haden Hill Park. Who is the little boy peering through the ladies skirts?? I would date it about 1930, by the their hair and clothes. Linell.

I too thought it was taken in Haden Hill park by the pets graves, but something tells me it was taken inthe USA
