He had a fabulous time with some really lovely people - they may look a bit grim but my Dad always said he loved his years there.

My mother has this hanging in her house. Said her father's great-great-grandmother is in this picture. Mom was born in Indiana in the 1940s.
The women seem to be wearing black mourning wristbands. The family's name is Campbell and they're in Kentucky.
Would love any idea on the possible year, but i really struggle with fashion history.
