Guy West kneels in the foreground with his hands in the sand. He is smoking a cigar. Mary West kneels next to Maude Hamilton, who reclines next to Elizabeth West. Wilhelmina West stands with her hand to her face and Frances West stands in front of her looking down at the sand. There is a wooden walkway at the right and utility poles and wires at the left. There are cottages in the background and the ocean is at the right. Mary A. West (Mary Adelbert Teel West Shepard) was H. H. West's first wife and the mother of Elizabeth and Frances. Guy M.
