Back in the day, there were ten couples in De Smet who used to have a round of parties together. The couples included a few familiar “Little House” names: Fuller, Hopp, Sanford, Sherwood, Tinkham, and Wilmarth.
It was also the time of the penny picture arcade, and the ten couples once had their photographs taken in three poses: with hat, without hat, and smiling. That’s the “bald-headed furniture man” shown above in his three poses.
Oh please, the next time there’s a LH gathering, can’t we all pose for a composite photo: bonnet, no bonnet, and smiling?
Progressive cinch, anyone?
