Little Orphan Annie's great-grandchildren

Little Orphan Annie's (Mary Alice Smith Gray's) great grandchildren, Marion Ruth Colestock, age 9, and Donald Edwin Colestock, age 6, stand on the banks of Old Brandywine, a creek that runs near the home of the poet, James Whitcomb Riley. Donald wears a straw hat and cutoff overalls. He holds a long stick in his right hand that he has extended into the creek. Marion wears a diamond print puff-sleeved dress and holds a bonnet with both hands. Both of the unsmiling children are barefoot a they stare at the stick in the creek.
