About this photograph
This photograph was taken at the Meek family home in Eshom Valley, California, showing Marvel Hensley, Beulah Meek Hensley, and Florence Hensley. The year is recorded as 1923, though the archive catalogues it as 1923/1924. The photographer is unknown.
Eshom Valley lies in Tulare County, which sits in California's San Joaquin Valley. The region saw heavy settlement in the later nineteenth century and developed as a farming area dependent on irrigated agriculture.
The photograph comes from the Tulare County Library's local history collection. That collection focuses largely on ordinary residents, families, schools, and businesses rather than public figures, reflecting everyday life in the county during this period.
The record reached this archive through California Revealed, a statewide programme that digitises material from California libraries, archives, museums, and historical societies for public access.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
