I wasn't there but I would guess 1980 based on the age I'm guessing Elizabeth to be.

Is it behind Grandma's home? I don't remember much of the backyard though so I could be/probably am wrong.

I'd say about 1981 based on the age Angela appears to be. I'm pretty sure it is NOT at Mother's house. Maybe the farmstead where Ralph and Catherine lived and later the Nob Blogs?

I mean the Nog Blogs! sorry!

Definetly not at the Grandpapa and Grandma's farmstead, but I did notice that our family was not there. It looks like the back sidewalk behind Perry's with the buildings in the alley behind, but I'm not sure.

Eric has it correct. The little building on the left is Joe Schramm's privy and the tall building in the back is Lucas Kiefer's big barn which I think was a garage and chicken house.

The location is the back yard of Grandma K.--about the where the old garden was located.

It must have been Ruth who took the picture, huh? She's the only one missing from the pic. Unless it Larry, but I bet he just wasn't there that day. I was probably happy cuz Dan Cervany was there. I always had a crush on him! :)

I didn't remember the surroundings but immediately recognized the narrow sidewalk behind the house (Grandma K.'s/Perry's).

Comments are mostly on target. Location is Mother's/Perry's back yard; the narrow sidewalk is accurate; Joe Schramm's privy--OK; the year is 1982. Maria is the key! She was born in July, 1981 and is by now a little girl.
Good job everyone!!!

Is it Elizabeth or Charity on the far right? I don't see the other in the picture.

Do you notice how Grandma, Ada, and Alice appear to be looking towards their left at Perry II? I wonder if he was saying Cheese or something?
