Seven women on an outing. What makes this photo so special to me is my grandmother’s elder sisters are in it: Winnie Keegan (Winnifred; 3d from right sitting) and Teresa Keegan (2nd from right sitting). One other name is written under the women sitting 2nd from left: Kate Knulty? I can’t make out the last name very well.
Winnifred was born in 1887 and died in 1918 at the age of 31, perhaps during the influenza flu pandemic. Teresa was born about 1888; date of death yet unknown. The Keegan women were born in Trescott but Winnifred lived and worked in Lubec by the age of 23. She was a domestic servant in the household of the Trecartin family. My grandmother, Elizabeth Keegan Rier, was their younger sister in a family of seven children.
It’s apparent these women love to be outdoors, one holding binoculars!

Lovely to have a rather unstructured family photo rather than lined up and/or sitting like crows on a wire.

It is nice to see a photo of women relaxing together enjoying the outdoors, not usual for the time!

It’s really hard to distinguish the standing figures. Is that a nun at the far left?

There are two women standing. I missed the one on the right until now. Their images are very faded. In strong light with a magnifying glass, I can make out the woman standing on the left and can see that she has upswept brown hair and is wearing a dress of the time. Standing on the right, I can only see she is wearing a hat – or could be a nun. The Keegans were strong Irish Catholic so a nun in the photo is a possibility. Thanks for suggesting a closer look!
