Lanark County group photo

Kate Palmer says: "The photo of all the ladies (and one lone man?) is a mystery. Front row third from right, seated in white dress, is Christena Graham who married James Lorne Prentice. Christena (1880-1969) was the daughter of Jeanette Fleming and William Graham of Lanark Township. I suspect this was taken c. 1915, before her marriage to Lorne. Possibly a Graham family reunion but no men. Ladies' temperance league? Church ladies' picnic? " Both this photo and the one below were probably taken in Lanark Township.
