Photograph, from left to right, of Elwood S. McClintic, William D. Johnston, an unidentified woman (maybe Mrs. B. B. Borgman?), Paul A. Word, Edward C. Shaw and Robert L. Ward posing on the sidewalk outside of Asbury M. E. Church. The group stands in a semi-circular row at center and all look to the camera. The sidewalk they stand on spans the width of the image along the bottom edge and narrows as it stretches back at center behind the group. Church congregants mill about behind them. Trees, utility poles and utility lines stand in the background.
