Details
Dowdal Davis and an unidentified African American woman (possibly Dowdal's sister Marguerite Davis) smile as they pose by the steps to the Davis home located at 301 N. 3rd (now called Park), in Independence, Kansas. The steps are located on the south side facing Laurel Street and St. Andrews Catholic School. The woman sits on the concrete wall by the steps wearing a bell hat and a full-length one-clasp jacket over her skirt and blouse. Dowdal stands behind her and the wall leaning his right shoulder into her. He wears a three-piece striped suit with a double breasted vest.
