Steam Engines and the Railroad

The photo shows Bertha (Hoffman) Kjarsgaard, a daughter of John Hoffman with her older children, Elsie and Alfred. This was about 1914, probably when the three of them went from their home in La Crosse, Wisconsin, to visit Bertha's sister. The sister was Margaret or Maggie, John's oldest child. At the time she was married to Frank Rush and living near Lamar, Colorado. Earlier I posted a photo of Bertha, Maggie and Maggie's daughter Alma Rose during the visit.
