This photo shows myy Great Grandad, Daniel Thomas Egan (1849-1926), with my Great Grandmother, Lizzie Agnes Fahy (1870-1950), and their children the eldest of whom is my grand mother, Mary Philomenia Egan.
The photo was taken in their ranch house at Hyanis, Nebraska, USA. Dan's first house was a "soddie" or small home made out of turf from the prairie. My grandmother told stories told to her by her mother Lizzie of the Native American Indians riding up on ponies and watching them at the sod house.
