The person sitting is my maternal great grandmother, Flora Hall Wilson. I do not know who the other person is. Perhaps it is a sister. Flora had a twin, Cora, but she was identical, so the other person is not her twin.

Can anyone identify this picture?

Date & Place: in Manton, Wexford County, Michigan USA
