I think the tall woman is Greta Holm. The man on the right is horsing around with a piece of equipment that I have not been able to identify. I’ve not found any photos of antique washing machines, butter churns, or cider presses that resemble it. I have a photo of Carl Holm operating a device that resembles this one and in that photo is a woman with a basket standing behind him. In this photo, the object to the left of the people might be a laundry tub with a hand-crank wringer.
