Location: This photograph was taken at the home of Ethel and Roy Hockman
People: Both Iowa natives, Mr. and Mrs. Hockman resided in later years in Wichita, where Mrs. Hockman’s youngest brother, George France (1906-196?), operated a large construction company.
Activity: The old folks at home: Mr. and Mrs. Hockman had no children so they proudly display photos of the children of Mrs. Hockman’s brother, George France. The children pictured are Donna Mae France and William France. Although the location of the photograph is Kansas, the two pictured were long-time Iowa farmers, and this photograph documents popular evening activities for a retired farm couple that would have been appropriate in the 19th century.
