Chris' daughter Hazel Williams Baker wrote on the back of this picture:

"Claudous [Hazel's husband] took this interior of dad's living room.  The people on the left are my cousins Harry and Marjorie Smith.  Dat at right by table and mother's brother-in-law Newton Smith.  The large picture on wall is dad's father.  Grandma Williams had this picture made from a small one in 1900.  The lamp on the desk was an oil lamp of grandma's and we wired it.  The dish on desk is also quite old.  It is of acorn design."
