A photograph of three generations of one family, all born in Specktown, Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The photograph was taken around 1916 at the Hannah [Rickert] Riegle home.
Front Row (standing): Ruth Olive [Evitts] Nichols (1910-1993); Albert Kendall Evitts (1908-1995).
Back Row (standing): Mabel Eliza [Riegle] Evitts (1883-1964), mother; Hannah [Rickert] Riegle (1847-1919), grandmother.
The photo was taken in a favorite spot along the eastern side of the house, where Hannah posed for many other photographs with generations of her family.
When Hannah died in 1919, her daughter Elizabeth ‘Lizzie” Riegle (1872-1942) continued to live in the home with her daughter Helen [Hoffman] Dietrich and William Dietrich who purchased the house from Hannah’s estate.
