A set of eleven snapshot photos all taken on June 4, 1939, at the Riegle-Dietrich homestead in Specktown, Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The photos are all of a reunion of the Walter Evitts (1884-1965) family and the family of his wife, Mable (Riegle) Evitts (1883-1964). The farm house in the distance at left in some of the photos is the boyhood home of Walter Evitts.
- The photo above shows Kathryn [Dietrich] Gasbarro (1915-2003) standing with her Great Uncle Walter Evitts and Great Aunt Mable Evitts. At the time, Kathryn was living the Evitts’ in Lansdowne, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and working as a hairdresser in Philadelphia.
