Mina Bruer, Jenny Ware, John N. Bruer, Nora Bruer, and Reverend John Poehl sit on a sofa in a parlor. The room in this 4" x 6" black and white photograph has floral wallpaper, a framed portrait on the wall behind the sofa, and a window with a lace curtain. There is a piano on the right side of the photograph with a piece of sheet music on it. The two men in the photograph are wearing suits and ties, and the young women are wearing blouses and long skirts. Mina, the youngest girl, wears a dress with plain trim and a matching plaid bow in her hair.
This photograph was taken in the Bruers' formal parlor as Reverend Poehl was courting Miss Nora Bruer. John H. Bruer is pictured in the photo on the wall. John Poehl was a Methodist Preacher in Crawford for a short time in early 1900s.
