This
is the cabin of Aunt Vina Jones. She is very ill with dropsy
[the swelling of soft tissues] and will probably not live long.
Her sister has come to try to help her by administering tea made
of “Wahoo” roots [a medicinal shrub]. The other two
women are [the] daughter and granddaughter of Mrs. Jones.
Even while this picture was being made the case worker could hear Mrs. Jones
calling for her deceased husband to come and take her to their new home.
Let us hope that there may be some domestic reward awaiting for one who has worked
faithfully for 50 years in a cabin like this.

Is it like your roof at home?
