Mystery Group at 2480 W. Medford Ave.
Location; Based on the photo of Emil Falk in uniform, this is clearly the rear of 2480 W. Medford Ave., Alvin Falk's house.
The Date Estimate: The strongest determinants are that the man is most likely Alvin Falk at his house (although he looks older than the expected 37) and that the three children prefectly match his children.
The Man: Estimated age: 44. DOB 1853. (Alvin Falk is 1860 - 1944)
The Older Woman: Estimated age: 45. DOB 1852. She is nothing like Alvin's very-thin wife, Bertha. so she remains unidentified.
Children: are prefectly consistent with the three children of Alvin Falk and Bertha Wilke; William, 9; Eleanora, 4; Emil, 11.
The Younger Woman: Estimated age: 28. DOB 1869. She is too young to be the parent of the older boy, she is not Bertha. She is holding the little girl and is detached from the two boys. This is likely Minnie Wilke, Eleanora's biological mother who would have been 26-27 at the time.
