A crew of Chinese laborers hoist a large piece of lumber up a hill to the American mission at Ing Tai. They used a wooden beam and ropes to carry the larger piece of wood. The gated wall and main building of the missionary complex can be seen in the background. This photo is from the papers of the Edward Huntington Smith family, missionaries serving the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in China, 1901-1950, primarily in Ing Tai and Foochow [Fuzhou].
